Rosecrance Therapies spotlights workplace wellness during Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a timely reminder that supporting mental well-being in the workplace is no longer optional, but essential for both people and performance.

Recent research shows that nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults experiences a mental health condition each year, with workplace stress consistently ranking among the most common sources of strain. According to Gallup, about 50% of North American employees report experiencing daily stress, and nearly 22% report feeling sad during the workday. More than half of employees also report feeling disengaged at work, a factor closely linked to lower productivity and reduced job satisfaction

As organizations across Chicagoland look for meaningful ways to respond, Rosecrance Therapies is bringing mental health support directly into the workplace through Let’s Mind Your Mind by Rosecrance Therapies.

Designed for both employees and employers, this on-site wellness series makes mental health education practical, accessible, and engaging. Each session is tailored to an organization’s needs and can be offered as a one-time event or a full series focused on real-world strategies for improving well-being at work.

Topics include stress management, work-life balance, resilience, and building healthier team dynamics, helping employees develop tools they can apply immediately in their daily work lives.

Workplace well-being initiatives can have a measurable impact on organizational costs, including reductions in absenteeism and annual health care claims. Research also shows that companies investing in employee mental health and wellness efforts often see improvements in productivity and employee retention. With Mental Health Awareness Month serving as a timely reminder of the importance of mental health, it is an ideal opportunity for organizations to take action and further invest in the well-being of their workforce.

“Employers today understand that supporting mental health is a necessity,” said Carlene Cardosi, President of Clinical Services and Chief Operating Officer for Rosecrance Behavioral Health. “These wellness series give organizations an opportunity to elevate workplace well-being and create a culture where mental health is genuinely prioritized.”
