May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we’re proud to join the nationwide movement to elevate the conversation around mental health and emotional wellbeing. Mental health is something that affects all of us—directly or indirectly—and it plays a vital role in our overall wellness, productivity, and happiness, both at work and in our personal lives.

As your HR team, we are committed to supporting your wellbeing—not just this month, but all year long.

Did you know, *according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience mental illness each year, and 76% of U.S. workers report at least one symptom of a mental health condition?

Despite how common these experiences are, stigma and lack of awareness often keep people from getting the support they need. That’s why this month is all about breaking the silence, building a culture of care, and making sure every employee knows: you are not alone.

The workplace is where we spend a significant portion of our lives—so creating a culture that supports mental well-being is not just important, it’s essential. This month, CCA@yourservice our Employee Assistance Program, is offering a range of webinars, resources, and support tools to help you prioritize your mental health, build resilience, and support one another. Whether you’re looking to better manage stress, learn about mental health first aid, or simply need someone to talk to—there’s something for everyone.
