#SupportNotStigma

Mental health isn’t just a personal issue—it’s a workplace and campus priority. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression and anxiety lead to 12 billion missed workdays worldwide. Meanwhile, 77% of college students experience moderate to serious psychological distress, according to the American College Health Association.

Despite the prevalence of mental health challenges, stigma remains one of the biggest barriers to seeking help. But here’s the good news: Most mental health concerns are treatable, and creating a culture of support leads to better engagement, productivity, and overall wellbeing.

Be part of the solution with the 1in5 Campaign

The 1in5 Campaign is dedicated to raising awareness and breaking the stigma of seeking help. You can take action today:

  • Add www.1in5.info as a resource on your company's or school’s intranet

  • Start the conversation by showing this flash course video at your next management team, staff meeting or student meeting

  • Display this poster throughout your worksite

  • Display this poster throughout your campus

  • Encourage employees or students to download, print and carry the wallet card

  • Visit our tip sheets section for mental health statistics, information and resources to share with your workforce or students

Support is available—help is within reach

Many employers offer access to Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs)—free and confidential resources designed to support employees, HR teams and managers in addressing mental health challenges that impact workplace performance.

Colleges and universities also provide free or low-cost mental health services, giving students the support they need to thrive academically and personally.

Change starts with action. Fostering a culture of mental health awareness creates stronger, healthier communities, whether in the workplace or on campus.

Let’s work together to make mental health support accessible to all.
