Workshop: Let’s Talk About Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Mental Health

Mental health affects everyone but can present itself in diverse ways. In the workplace, commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) often fail to adequately ensure support for mental health challenges. Much of the time, mental health is overlooked and stigmatized, preventing many employees from seeking help or treatment. Moreover, mental health is experienced in different ways by different groups. In particular, minorities often experience worse mental health outcomes due to barriers such as cultural stigma and access to support and treatment.

Recent events such as Covid-19 health disparities and racial violence have further exacerbated the need to improve DEI initiatives. Here, we will discuss ways employers can improve mental health strategies.
