SUMMARY - Employer Mental Health Programs
A company launches a wellness app that offers meditation exercises and stress tips, promoting it as their mental health initiative while workloads increase and layoffs loom. Employees use the app on breaks too short to provide rest, aware that the real sources of stress remain unaddressed. A manager attends mental health training, learning to recognize signs of distress and have supportive conversations, returning to a workplace culture that rewards overwork and punishes vulnerability. She wants to help her team but the structures she operates within undermine her efforts.
