Acuity Counseling

For most employees, the coronavirus pandemic has impacted nearly every aspect of their jobs. Whether working remotely and facing the new challenges of blurred lines between work and home life, or continuing to work "in the office", managing additional stressors and duties surrounding coronavirus, employees everywhere are feeling the strain. Recent data reveals 45% of adults in the U.S. (an increase from 32.5% in 2018), report a negative impact to their mental health due to worry and stress (KFF Tracking Poll, March 2020). As an employer, this puts additional responsibility on leaders to support the members of your team in protecting, not only their physical health, but also their mental health. Historically, the workplace has not been a safe space for mental health dialogue. Fortunately, this is now changing, giving leaders the opportunity to not only talk about mental health and wellness with their teams, but to lead through action.

By creating a space for open, safe dialogue, and increasing awareness of available mental health resources through education, you can support your team in the short term through this COVID-19 crisis, and more importantly, develop the foundation for a resilient and productive culture which benefits everyone for years to come. We know this is uncharted territory for many leaders and we're here to help. We can provide assistance connecting employees with therapists for confidential, individualized care, support you in addressing mental health concerns among staff (burnout, stress, absenteeism, productivity/motivation and COVID-19 anxiety/depression) and provide education about how to best support staff in their mental wellness. We're here for you through this COVID-19 crisis. Please reach out for a free 20-minute consultation with our Chief Clinical Officer, Maggie Rodriguez; consults via zoom or phone call, whichever you prefer.
