Twenty percent of U.S. adults live with a mental illness.1 At your next company meeting take a second to scan the room, or screen. Let’s assume 10,000 people work at your company, that means 2,000 are suffering from a diagnosable mental health condition. But what’s even more shocking is that 70% (i.e. 1,400) of them...
