Help your employees focus on their behavioral health

Even before the pandemic, recognizing and addressing the impact of behavioral health on our workforces has been a top challenge. To do our jobs well, we need to feel well mentally and physically — a full-health approach. While many employers have behavioral health programs in place, many employees are hesitant to seek out the support they need.

We’re here to help

On this page, you can access a ready-to-use, multi-touch toolkit of employee communications. It’s designed to promote dialogue and help address behavioral health challenges affecting your workforce.

Communications toolkit

The complimentary toolkit comes with a how-to guide and a full suite of employee communication materials. It also includes introductory presentations for leadership teams and employees, as well as a quick reference behavioral health resource guide.
