Meeting employees where they are: The rise of workplace mental health services

Gaddy Noy et al. World J Psychiatry. .

Abstract

Many key organizations have called attention to the importance of addressing workplace mental health. In this Open Forum piece, two academic psychiatrists present recommendations from their experiences providing psychiatric care in a corporate setting. A literature review using the PubMed database was performed. The search found no peer review articles that discuss the topic of employer-sponsored mental health services outside of traditional employee assistant programs. Based on first-hand experience, the authors of this forum describe key issues and best practices to ensure employer-sponsored mental health services are a successful treatment for patients and mental health providers alike.

Keywords: Corporate wellness; Employee mental health; Employer sponsored mental health; Mental health; Psychiatry; Workplace mental health.
