Why Should You Attend
It is estimated that one in four US adults experience mental illness each year, and one in 20 live with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. 90% of Americans who die by suicide have experienced symptoms of a treatable mental health condition such as depression, anxiety disorders or other forms of serious mental illness. These individuals could be your employees resulting at best, lost productivity and, at worst, violence in the workplace.
