<em>What is unique is that I am willing to be vulnerable, share my story, and help pave the way for others to follow.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Employees living with a mental health condition rarely feel their work is a place of safety.&#xA0; <em>By opening the conversation about mental health in the workplace, you empower employees to speak their truth and remove blockages to peak performance.&#xA0;<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Employees are afraid to ask for help because of fear of judgment, retribution, or job loss.&#xA0; <em>By fostering a culture of safety, you create a culture of transparency and open communication resulting in a more engaged and healthier workforce.&#xA0;<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Employees thrive when they are in a safe environment.&#xA0; <em>Making one key shift in communication about mental health fosters a culture of safety that supports employee health, wellness, engagement, and productivity.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Stigma and discrimination thrive on a lack of knowledge and understanding.&#xA0; <em>Educating employees about mental health and substance misuse can create more open communication, understanding, and empathy.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Leaders lead by example and have the power to transform the workplace culture.&#xA0;
