Thanks to decades of awareness initiatives and shifting societal attitudes, seeking mental healthcare is more accepted—and more common—than ever. If you want to understand the importance of mental health benefits, consider that 42% of American adults have seen a counselor at some point, and 36% are open to the concept. This has become increasingly important in the age of COVID-19 and the heightened anxiety it has caused.
However, despite the great work being done to end the stigma associated with mental illness and well-being, many employees aren't getting the help they need. This can have a lasting impact on the workforce culture, as well as the overall business.
