What's on the agenda?This symposium will provide you with the tools, knowledge, and insights necessary to enhance your organization’s approach to mental health, with a focus on fostering resilience, reducing stigma, and ultimately improving employee outcomes. Whether you are looking to optimize existing programs or develop new strategies, From Struggles to Solutions will equip you with the information and resources you need to lead your organization’s mental health initiatives with confidence.
The Impact of Belonging on Mental Health A sense of belonging is critical to mental health. People who feel supported and connected to others are more resilient, can better manage behavioral issues, and can cope with stress. A lack of belonging, conversely, can lead to mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Creating a work environment and culture where all employees feel psychologically safe to bring their authentic self to work is critical to organizational success. During this fireside chat, wellbeing and DEIB experts from Aon will discuss how organizations are creating safe spaces where everyone can thrive. Robin Bouvier | Aon Trends in Critical Care: The New Blueprint to Facilitate Treatment for Complex Behavioral Health Issues Moderated by Lisa Bertola, a Subject Matter Expert on Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Benefits, this engaging panelist discussion will showcase innovative practices for connecting employers and employees to Critical Care, namely for treatment of substance use disorder, as representative of a prevalent stigmatized behavioral health disease. Panelists will share their unique perspectives from clinical, to risk management and managed care, to patient advocacy. Attendees will gain insight into the latest strategies for leveraging employer benefits to confidentially navigate and access the appropriate care, all while helping to reduce stigma.
