Overcoming Barriers: Access and Minority Mental Healthcare

Learn the importance of making minority mental health a priority at your organization.

What You’ll Learn

A recent Deloitte survey found that 80 percent of employees see inclusivity in the workplace as a key criterion when choosing a job. That same survey found that “72 percent of respondents would leave or may consider leaving an organization for a more inclusive one.” Although the discussion around workplace diversity and mental health has become more commonplace, employers are still navigating how to properly introduce initiatives to support the unique experience of minority employees. Join Lyra for a fireside chat in honor of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month as industry experts discuss the importance of making minority mental health a priority at your organization.

You’ll learn:

  • The importance of culturally-responsive care and access to a network of providers that provide personalized mental health support for minorities in your workforce
  • How to be intentional in your diversity and inclusion efforts, including ERGs and other workplace culture initiatives
  • Ways organizations can design benefits, programs, and policies to support the unique experiences of minority employees
