Supporting Mental Health Issues

Co-workers struggle with mental health issues, especially during COVID-19 when most are working remotely and unable to be in a social environment. How can you help?

According to Dr. Dawn Brown,  a Child/Adult Psychiatrist, and Serial Entrepreneur:

You might not always easily know if one of your co-workers is struggling with their mental health. Much of the time, there aren't any apparent signs.

It requires a bit of extra attention from business owners and co-workers, but negative mental health can affect worker output, and that should concern you. Dr. Brown's article in Forbes Magazine addresses some of these concerns.

The world as we knew it has changed. There is no longer a gathering around the water cooler to enjoy a few moments of social chatter. How do people fare from the isolation?

Moreover, the burden is multiplied especially for women who have kids at home who cannot attend school. While they try to work, there is a constant "Mom?"

Video calls can help, but nothing can replace the social interaction that most of us have become used to as part of our regular days. Working remotely presents certain challenges but also some freedoms. Adjusting to this new environment can be difficult for some.
