How to manage your mental health at work and create supportive environments for teams you lead

Drawing on popular influencer Kody Green's inspirational story as a diagnosed person with schizophrenia who succeeded in finding and maintaining a job across diverse industry sectors including production, distribution, office settings, and management, Minds Over Meetings: A Personal Perspective on Wellness in the Workplace provides practical strategies for fostering an understanding, empathetic, and supportive and inclusive work environment as well as self-care and coping strategies to help all professionals manage their mental health better at work.

Backed by the latest research findings in the field and emphasizing the vital role of open and honest communication, Green explores topics including:

• Finding available accommodations through employee assistance programs (EAP) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
• Retaining talent in the workplace by promoting education and fighting stigma
• Building relationships between friends and colleagues to strengthen teamwork

Minds Over Meetings: A Personal Perspective on Wellness in the Workplace earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of all individuals seeking to thrive in the workplace through effective management of their mental health, along with all managers and business leaders seeking to create an open and supportive environment to improve worker wellbeing.
