OSMH Guides for Promoting Mental Wellness in the Tech Workplace
Today we’re proud to share something OSMH has been hard at work creating for the greater tech community: Open Sourcing Mental Health Mental Health in Tech handbooks. The three handbooks offer general guidance on Mental Wellness in the Workplace, Guidelines for Executives and HR Professionals, and Guidelines for Employees.
It should be noted that each of these resources are a work in progress, and each will continue to evolve as the standards for mental health support in professional settings evolves. Please, help us by sharing these resources and expanding our efforts to provide direction in creating supportive workplaces for those dealing with mental disorders.
