“Tying a direct line between a mental health challenge to shifts in work performance isn’t always accurate,” Christine Coleman, PhD, licensed marriage and family therapist and member of Mind Share Partners’ advisory council, shares. “As we grow in our empathy, we can be mindful to avoid using an identifiable factor like a mental health challenge as the sole reason for something to be happening. We won’t fully know until we extend ourselves to know the whole person more.”
-Dr. Coleman quoted in the Harvard Business Review
Where mental health and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) intersect.
BIPOC (Black, indigenous, people of color)/women of color often face challenges rooted in systemic oppression such as racism, discrimination, misogyny, or bigotry that can affect one’s mental health and wellbeing. This may be experienced in the workplace, academic institutions, or in everyday encounters.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
