Abstract
Ultimately, we cannot be effective ourselves and with our immediate teams if our organizations and communities do not change how they think about mental health and being part of this change is ultimately our greatest opportunity. This chapter helps readers better understand their own organization in order to change prevailing attitudes about and investments in mental health. While it might not always seem possible, in an ideal world, the enlightened manager must have the courage and support to lobby for organizational change when appropriate. This chapter argues that organizations can support mental well-being by supporting education to reduce stigma and make it easier to discuss work stressors on mental health; facilitating access to resources and treatment, including through technology; helping build organizations that embrace neurodiversity; and embracing generational diversity. The reflection enables you to analyze your organization along the stress vs support dimensions and consider how to improve it.
