The first Learning Collaborative of 2021 was held in February and concentrated on industries where uniquely high barriers exist to normalizing conversations and disclosures about workplace mental health. Such environments can be characterized in a number of ways – for instance, workplaces that demand confidentiality or require a security clearance, workplaces that expose employees to a regularly high degree of stress or trauma, or those where disclosure of a mental health condition can result in real career consequence such as the revoking of licensure – are environments we have categorized as “high-risk, low-transparency” environments.
