Supporting Mental Health at Work: From Benefits to Peer Champions

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month in May, join the St. Louis CEBS Chapter for an engaging virtual webinar focused on mental health in the workplace. AllyHealth will begin the session with an overview of its offering, including its robust virtual mental health component, and McCarthy will share its perspective in the second half.

McCarthy’s portion will highlight its Mental Health Champion network, a peer-led approach designed to reduce stigma, increase awareness of mental health resources, and promote positive mental health across offices and jobsites.

Together, the session will explore how employer-sponsored mental health benefits and grassroots employee engagement can work hand in hand to build a stronger culture of well-being.
