Has your workplace launched a mental health or wellbeing program? We're trying to outline what this might look like if we were to create such a program. But I'm not sure what is needed. Can we just offer like four mental health days a year?

If the entire ‘mental health initiative’ is four PTO crumbs and a Canva poster, just say you’re not interested in fixing the conditions that are burning people out. Mental illness isn’t a branding opportunity, and wellbeing isn’t a checkbox on a leadership scorecard.
If a company actually wants to support mental health, it stops manufacturing the stressors, trains its managers, funds real care, and builds a culture where people aren’t punished for being human.
Anything less is corporate cosplay with a wellness sticker slapped on top.

I guess four mental health days is not enough. It's like a formality. My company takes it very seriously and conducted sessions every month.

We provided our staff access to a service called Forte, which has psychologists and coaches which they can use at their discretion. It has really helped staff avoid burnout, work through family issues and recognize healthy development through their coaches.

My workplace genuinely cares about both our physical and mental wellbeing—we have a free gym in the building and a few free sessions with a psychologist available each month. I was recently reading about different health habits and came across https://betterme.world/articles/fasting-for-3-days/, which reminded me how closely physical and mental wellbeing are connected. In my experience, access to support is often more valuable than just a few extra days off. A good wellbeing program can make people feel supported and help prevent burnout before it becomes a serious issue.
