Raising awareness about mental health issues in the workplace is crucial, but it is not enough on its own. Taking action is equally important.

While efforts to connect people going through tough times to counselors may be helpful, the efforts are not sufficient. For instance, it’s not good enough just to get “troubled workers” to treatment when the workplace environment is filled with psychosocial hazards like prejudice and discrimination. When we look at a more comprehensive approach to issues of trauma, addiction and distress, we see we have more work to do. We need also fix our environments – make them psychologically healthy and safe
