Weekly Wrap-up: Wellbeing Resources
May 11, 2020
We have all felt the mental health impacts from this crisis and so many of you have done an amazing job making this a focus in the programming you are bringing to employees during this time.
A study published this week paints an even bleaker picture than I imagined. More than 1 in 4 American adults met the criteria that psychologists use to diagnose serious mental distress and illness, a 700% increase from pre-pandemic data. Young adults and those with children experienced the most pronounced increases. In adults living at home with kids under the age of 18, the rate of severe distress rose from 3% in 2018 to 37% last month. Full data is shared in the employer resources section below.
As you continue to work through the unique challenges that are facing your employees during this time, please let us know how we can support you. Have a safe and healthy week.
