What companies offer the best mental health benefits? Do you think it translates to the actual culture of the company or is it just a band aid?

I can't speak to which company has the best mental health benefits, though my most recent company offers free of charge counseling with licensed therapists, and i think 3 free sessions with an actual psych. That in and of itself is nicer than previous benefits, though i can't attest to the actual quality of the providers. The company overall seems pretty nonplussed as everyone is remote and that sort of distance probably lends to some comfortability.

The other thing is that this has been after a pause from working since COVID and I'm noticing MANY of my coworkers have announced some form of 'neurodivergence', be it multiple personality disorder, transgender identity, or OCD, as if it was something fashionable. I'm not saying this to belittle their no doubt real experience, rather I'm noticing people are very almost proud to tell you about things previously considered mental health challenges. I do find the MPD thing a little odd, especially because as these people have explained it to me, there's multiple voices/personalities controlling them at different times? I'm not sure what to make of that. Overall, it seems like there is a shift in society generally towards socially accepting more divergent experiences and expressions, and that contributes to a more open work culture.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
