Address Mental Health Challenges from COVID-19

Support employees in getting help for behavioral health and substance use issues brought on by the pandemic.

Stress due the COVID-19 pandemic may have a notable impact on mental health and substance use. Logistical challenges from various worksite arrangements have made it difficult for some employers to ensure their teams have access to the behavioral health care they need.
