A mental health awareness institute focused on reducing the stigma of mental illness by providing resources and support to those in need. Whether working in an office, doing a job remotely, or managing employees, the pandemic is still taking a toll on U.S. workers. U.S. workers are showing signs of burnout, a desire for mental health and wellness support and are at risk for more serious conditions like depression.
