Due to the stigma surrounding mental health, it can be a difficult subject to bring up and discuss with your teammates. With that in mind, we’ve written 7 questions below that can allow business leaders and managers to gain insights and open up discussion in a comfortable and non-judgmental way. Try using these in your next 1-2-1.

The stigma associated with mental health is one of the most significant barriers to people seeking and benefiting from support.
