Hooray for mental health awareness! I wonder if any of the big tech companies (Goog, FB, Appl) do anything like this, or more generally, do anything to help with employee mental health wellness.

- patrickmclaren 12y agoThanks for linking that. Do you know any more about it? I see a component of their curriculum is "Emotional Resilience", curious to see how much of the program is focused on that aspect as opposed to what signals I choose to broadcast to others.
- vtbassmatt 12y agoMicrosoft has a program for for employees as well as family members. It has a hotline (crisis or non-crisis) entry-point and can also plug into your standard health insurance for on-going issues. Can't remember the name, maybe something like "MS Cares".
- acdha 12y agoI think it's good to see this outside of an employer-managed context. It avoids the problem of someone being afraid to use a service because they assume their boss will get a report even if it's supposed to be anonymous.
