My job just announced mental health benefits to help end the stigma: 25 therapy sessions for employee+family a year at no cost. 🍾🍾🍾

VP: Not really sure on how to respond to this. I’m glad that you haven’t experienced any stigmatization of mental health issues, but unfortunately many of us have. Break your leg and everyone understands why you are away from work. Have a mental breakdown and people are far less understanding because you don’t «look ill». That’s why I’m glad they invest in a mental health plan that offers more than the typical health insurance does, and encourage us to use it if we need it.

@OP, I apologize if I sounded insensitive but I truly just didn’t understand your post. And I am sadly well aware of the stigma of mental illness, as my family has a deep history of various conditions. I read it as that your job was providing mental health benefits to end the stigma of something specific (ie rape) vs that the mental health benefits were being provided in response to mental health issues themselves being stigmatized.
I appreciate your clarification and wish you all the best!

Amazing! Which agency?? Everywhere should offer this

Stigma is my words, not their reasoning if that makes it clearer? I feel that even acknowledging that it’s an issue and talking about it is helping to end the stigma of having one - like «hey, this is actually pretty normal, and there’s no need to feel ashamed about it"

This is really amazing! Let’s hope more follow suit!

That is really awesome 🌟

What stigma?

And no need to apologize. Totally see the confusion. :)

😊

Yes! I hear you.

It really is hard.

And so much more widespread.

I have, in particular, been reading about complex ptsd and how it’s so frequently misdiagnosed as other things. It’s pretty amazing that your benefits cover family too, because the impact on partners/kids/etc is so very real

Woah. Out of network too???

SVP: Don’t know the details yet unfortunately.

That’s incredible. I exclusively use Lyft!

6 months of covered therapy? Almost convinced me to move out west. So close.

AMAZING!!!

Has anyone else noticed they’re stressed without “feeling” stressed? I don’t feel as stressed as when I was in college. However, I’m still on the job hunt and I think stress is manifesting itself without me realizing it.

Is it stress or burnout?
