In this episode of People-ing with Purpose, we explore the unique challenges and stressors employees face during the holiday season and effective strategies for addressing these issues. Our guest, Susie Kingry, Chief Operating Officer at SpectraCare, shares her extensive knowledge in behavioral healthcare, drawing from over 30 years of experience. With a master's degree in counseling and psychology from Troy University, Susie offers profound insights into how your company can enact policies that help manage employee mental health with proper time management and simply allowing some extra grace during the busy times of year. 


In this episode, we cover: 

  • What typical challenges and stressors people face in the workplace during the holiday season and their impact on work performance. 
  • The critical role open communication plays in managing mental health and overall wellness. 
  • The concept of psychological safety and its significance in promoting open dialogue about personal challenges. 
  • Why it's important to review mental health coverage with your insurance provider proactively rather than waiting for a crisis to arise. 
  • Available resources for individuals seeking mental health assistance. 
  • An overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act and how it protects employees' mental health rights. 

Join us as we engage with Susie Kingry to equip you with the tools necessary for cultivating a supportive work environment that prioritizes mental health.
