Owning Your Experience: Talking about Mental Health In the Workplace
summary
Workplace mental health benefits when people use experiential language instead of clinical labels: describe what happens and what helps, not just a diagnosis. Use concrete scripts (asking for support, offering support, check-ins, normal conversation) and follow rule zero: you can't fix anything. Recognize crisis steps: stay calm, ask direct suicide question and call emergency services when intent is clear. Try a small trial balloon first, plan who to tell and exactly what support to request, and build compassionate boundaries.
