Care to Change Counseling

In this episode we delve into the crucial topic of mental health in the workplace. Join us as we explore why fostering mental well-being is imperative for both employers and employees alike.

After starting his career in the business world, guest speaker, Erik Cooper, spent 12 years in full-time ministry, both on staff at a large suburban church and as a church planter in a downtown urban context. In addition to his role at The Stone Table, he also serves in executive leadership of Community Reinvestment Foundation, a nonprofit real estate company that provides high-quality affordable housing all over Indiana while investing its profits into missions through The Stone Table.

Episode Highlights:

  1. The Stigma of Mental Health: Despite progress, there remains a stigma surrounding mental health within the workplace. We address common misconceptions and discuss how embracing mental health aligns with the teachings of compassion, empathy, and love.
  2. Workplace Dynamics and Mental Well-being: The workplace can either be a space that nurtures mental health or exacerbates mental struggles. We explore the impact of stress, burnout, and toxic environments on employees' mental well-being.
  3. Leadership's Role: Leaders play a pivotal role in shaping workplace culture. We discuss the responsibility of leaders to prioritize mental health initiatives, fostering environments where employees feel valued, heard, and supported in their struggles.
  4. Practical Strategies: Drawing from both psychological insights and biblical wisdom, we offer practical strategies for individuals and organizations to prioritize mental health in the workplace. 

Join us for an insightful conversation that sheds light on why mental health in the workplace is not just a matter of productivity or efficiency but a profound expression of Christian values and love for one another.
