We believe that, in order to change how mental illness is viewed and understood, we must approach this complex topic in an accessible manner. This includes making mental illness relatable through personal stories and backing up our facts and statistics with rigorous research.
We know that people learn in different ways, and so our innovative Create Your StigmaZero Workplace online training program was built using the best practices in online learning to ensure the highest possible levels of engagement. We believe that learning can – and should be – an interesting and enjoyable experience!

DECLINING WORKPLACE MENTAL HEALTH
NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED
The prevalence of mental illness and the general decline in workplace mental health were already major challenges facing employers prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. In truth, our current reality poses a greater challenge to the workplace than most realize, resulting in lost productivity due to absenteeism, presenteeism, turnover and more. And all of these challenges are made worse by stigma.
Despite significant gains in awareness in recent years, mental health challenges as well as mental illnesses like clinical depression or anxiety disorder are still treated far differently than physical illnesses. This is caused by stigma and fear of discrimination, which results in confusion, isolation and lack of support. Consequently, far too many people are suffering in silence, avoiding treatment and trying to simply “soldier on.”
Now, more than ever, workplace mental health needs to be addressed. There is reason for optimism, however, because while mental illness can be treated, stigma can be cured.
