The pandemic has proven that mental health is health

Ongoing mental health support is key for long-term health. That’s why we must acknowledge the impact that the pandemic has had on mental wellbeing and share resources to support long-term mental health as we move forward.

 

Share this important video with your clients to help them understand the impact that 2020 had on their employees’ mental health and wellbeing.

 

  • 4 in 10 adults reported symptoms of anxiety or depression, up from 1 in 10 in 2019.
  • Nearly 75% of healthcare professionals estimate the pandemic’s mental health effects will last 3 or more years.
  • 70% of healthcare professionals say patients are more willing to talk about mental health issues.


Next, share our blog article, Supporting employees’ long-term mental health needs. It includes helpful steps your group clients can take to help de-stigmatize mental health issues, recognize warning signs of mental illness, and provide support for their employees.

 

The pandemic has proven that mental health is health, and Anthem is committed to focusing fully and compassionately on the holistic health of our members and communities.
