The State of Stigma
February 2024 — State of Stigma: Mental Health in theRestaurant Industry
March 4, 2024 | 4pm
Restaurant work is a high stress, demanding industry. Workers may be hesitant to share mental health struggles due to fear of stigma or concerns about job security. And some workers may not have support from management. The competitive nature of the industry may discourage employees from prioritizing their mental health or seeking help when needed.
Join us for a discussion about how restaurant owners can create a supportive and understanding work environment for employees to feel safe to discuss their struggles.
