At NYSIF, it’s always been our mission to help workers achieve the best possible health outcomes. And with our State of Wellness program, we’re doing it in a whole new way – by providing employers and employees with engaging resources on a wide range of wellness topics.

We’re kicking things off with one of the most important topics of all – mental health. And with 86% of workers saying they’ve experienced at least one mental health challenge over the past year,* there’s never been a better time to get the conversation started. Explore an array of helpful tools below, from tips for increasing awareness to more in-depth support.

EMPLOYER RESOURCES

Explore ways you can promote mental health awareness at your company, speak to employees about prioritizing their own mental health and ensure that your employees have access to the support they need.

Create a Mental Health Awareness Program

Dedicating time to mental health shows employees that you care, and brings people together in support of a healthier, happier work environment. We can help you create a program that raises your team’s awareness of important mental health topics and encourages deeper conversation.

GET STARTED: Check out our Action Plan below for easy-to-implement ideas that can help get your program started. We’ve included posters that can be hung in your workplace, as well as images and graphics that can be used on television displays and lobby monitors or as screensavers.

EMPLOYEE RESOURCES

Learn about the importance of caring for your mental health, access tools for building positive mental health habits and find help if you need it.

If you are injured or become ill as a direct result of your job, your employer's workers' compensation insurance pays for health care, as well as some wage replacement if you are unable to work.

In New York State, employees who suffer a mental health injury while working or as a consequence of an existing compensable physical injury may file a claim with the Workers' Compensation Board (WCB). Learn more about filing a workers' comp claim in New York by visiting the WCB website.
