It is often challenging for individuals to address their personal mental health concerns at the workplace, for fear of stigmatisation which may lead to missed opportunities for promotion and/or being dismissed. These concerns may include caregiving duties to a person with mental illness or the emotional strains resulting from having to juggle work, family and other responsibilities.
We have brought together a well-rounded panel consisting of a mental health professional, a lawyer practicing employment law, a vice-president of human resources at a global MNC, and a co-founder of a Fintech company who has interest in mind-body connection. This panel will address issues of mental health at the workplace, the importance of building and maintaining relationships for persons with mental illness, and also share on the available support for persons with mental health concern and their caregivers - both at the micro and macro levels.
