The first presidential debate of the divisive 2024 #election was last night, and everyone (from your friend to your neighbor to your colleague) is feeling the #stress.

 🗳️ Acknowledge that anxiety and passions are at their peak during this time. Sometimes, people just want to feel seen! 🗳️ Consider sharing a message from company leadership about maintaining a culture of collaboration and mutual respect. 🗳️ Discourage unnecessary political banter. It’s not about censorship. It’s about avoiding negativity, polarization, or aggressive language. 🗳️ If it feels right to you, encourage your team to vote in November. No matter who they’re voting for, it’s a civil right we can’t take for granted. #workplacedynamics #mentalhealth

Did you know 45% of adults in the U.S. lack essentials like healthy food or safe housing? This can affect anyone, even those who have seemingly high paying jobs. They may not know where to go, what's available, or if they qualify. And many are hesitant to ask for help. When individuals have unmet needs, mental and physical health suffers and healthcare costs rise.

In a world where teens are overwhelmed with “perfect” social media imagery, academic pressures, and relationship challenges—mental health takes a backseat. 20% of teens have seriously considered suicide. (CDC) Spring Health’s dedicated Teen solution creates a safe space for adolescents to find community and connection, talk to a therapist or coach, and learn about their mental health—all while giving parents peace of mind.

When you think of #PTSD, what do you imagine? For a lot of us, stereotypes come to mind: war veterans, flashbacks, violent outbursts. And while war veterans certainly experience PTSD, and flashbacks and violent outbursts can be symptoms, there’s a lot more to PTSD than what’s shown in the media. Neal Kennington, Director of Clinical Sales at Spring Health, sheds light on the complexities of PTSD ahead of #PTSDAwarenessDay on Thursday. He discusses life events that may lead to trauma as well as trauma responses that can significantly impact someone’s life for years. As Neal says, trauma is personal—and it can affect absolutely anyone. #mentalhealth #PTSD

According to research published in the journal Psychological Science and shared by The New York Times, loneliness follows a U-shaped curve. It peaks in young adulthood and again later in life. It’s concerning, especially as 20% of the world’s employees experience daily loneliness, according to Gallup’s 2024 State of the Workplace. With the average full-time employee spending more than 2,000 hours working every year, #workplaces can play a key role in encouraging connection and reducing #loneliness. Here are a few tips that even 100% remote organizations can consider: ✔️ Intentionally create frequent moments for collaboration and conversations on Zoom or in real life, such as regular check-ins, morning team meetings, or social hours. 
 ✔️ Plan in-person gatherings like quarterly or bi-annual retreats where employees can get together and build valuable relationships. 
✔️ Promote the creation of social clubs or employee resource groups. These might be formed around a shared hobby, background, or identity. Does your workplace foster #connection in a unique or interesting way? Share in the comments! ⤵️

Employee Resource Groups can offer an invaluable space for your #LGBTQ employees to connect with each other, network, and foster a sense of belonging—instrumental in retaining your organization’s top talent. Kerry Symon, Psy.D. (she/they), Director of Clinical Partnerships at Spring Health, is a proud member of our Outspring ERG and in this video shares the critical role these groups can play in your company’s culture.
