In addition to fighting stigma in our workplaces, we are building a human case to encourage cultures built on a foundation of empathy, caring, kindness and compassion. The key to ending stigma is to humanize it with storytelling. The key to affecting social change, persuasive enough to change our workplaces and powerful enough to shine a light on what the future should look like for us all is to interweave a more inclusive story. But we can’t do this alone. We need your help. We are reaching out today to ask if you would like to submit a personal story to help us build the human case for rebuilding workplaces on a foundation of empathy, caring, kindness and compassion with needed mental health programming and support for employees.
