Wednesday, October 7, noon - 1 p.m.
One in four Americans will experience a mental illness in their lifetime, whether it be depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder or other addictive behavior. Most episodes occur during one's working life. It is imperative that every employee is aware of the risks and signs of mental illnesses, as well as coping strategies and pathways to support either yourself or perhaps a loved one.

- The most common mental illness and their signs/symptoms
- Specific features of depression and anxiety
