Business Outreach Program Overview

---

Does your business suffer at times due to employee absenteeism or employee conflicts? Do you know where to turn for assistance when your employees need mental health support? We are Mental Health America of Vanderburgh County, a local chapter of a 100 year-old national organization dedicated to improving the mental health of everyone in our county, including your employees.

We have created a Business Outreach Program just for you because we know that your bottom line is affected by how well your employees feel mentally and emotionally. In fact, depression alone cost the country $83 billion dollars in absenteeism, lost productivity and direct treatment costs. We also know this is the right thing to do to help stop the increase in suicides in our community over the past year.

Our new program for businesses includes access to our information and referral line, suicide prevention training, mental health screenings, information and access to our free therapeutic support groups and literature on a variety of mental health topics. We also offer presentations to management on mental health wellness issues such as stress.

All of these services are free to your employees with a very low cost, tax deductible business membership.
