SUMMARY - Stigma & Mental Health Awareness
A manager notices that one of his best employees has been struggling lately, missing deadlines, seeming distracted, calling in sick more often than usual. He suspects something is wrong but hesitates to ask, worried that bringing up mental health might be inappropriate, might offend, might open a conversation he does not know how to have. He says nothing, and the employee continues to struggle in silence, both of them trapped in an awkwardness that prevents help.
