Despite the mental health awareness prevalent today, addressing it at the workplace still remains a taboo for many.
盡管如今心理健康意識(shí)很普遍，但對(duì)許多人來說，在工作場(chǎng)所解決這個(gè)問題仍然是一個(gè)禁忌。

Rather alarming, isn’t it?
相當(dāng)令人擔(dān)憂，不是嗎?

工作場(chǎng)所的心理健康預(yù)算通常集中于幫助那些正在經(jīng)歷情感危機(jī)的人。然而，關(guān)注預(yù)防措施和建立心理健康的工作場(chǎng)所同樣重要。

3. Proper support
適當(dāng)?shù)闹С?/strong>

4. Clearer information about support
關(guān)于支持的更清晰的信息
Once you have established a support system, you have to make it accessible to your workforce. That means that any employee who needs help concerning their mental state should know who to approach for it. Subsequently, the mental health scheme in your organization should be easy to use and easily understood by any employee in the company.
一旦你建立了一個(gè)支持系統(tǒng)，你就必須讓你的員工可以使用它。這就意味著，任何需要心理咨詢的員工都應(yīng)該知道應(yīng)該向誰尋求幫助。因此，你所在組織的心理健康計(jì)劃應(yīng)該易于使用，并且容易被公司的任何員工理解。
5. Train the managers
培訓(xùn)經(jīng)理
Managers are in the perfect position to assist—they have direct day-to-day contact with their team and also have direct contact with top management. Even the most basic of mental health training will equip managers to look out for signs of mental crisis and stress and also to create a supportive and inclusive environment.
管理人員處于最有利的位置，可以提供幫助，他們與團(tuán)隊(duì)有直接的日常聯(lián)系，也與最高管理層有直接聯(lián)系。即使是最基本的心理健康培訓(xùn)，也會(huì)使管理人員有能力發(fā)現(xiàn)心理危機(jī)和壓力的跡象，并創(chuàng)造一個(gè)支持性和包容性的環(huán)境。
