Building a Workplace Mental Health and Wellness Program
Addressing employee mental health and well-being is increasingly a top priority for business leaders. Amid rising rates of overdoses and suicides nationwide, taking a proactive approach to caring for the body, the mind, and the spirit benefits everyone.

As today’s top talent demands better access to mental health care and innovative strategies to address well-being, executives must showcase tangible solutions. The Kennedy Forum Illinois is uniquely positioned to share best practices with your organization.
