As we wrap up Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re proud to share that this month we’ve trained almost 200 additional employees to serve as Well First Responders in North America. These individuals are equipped to Notice and Respond when colleagues may be facing mental health challenges. Mental health is essential to our well‑being at work, and with nearly 900 trained employees in our program, easily recognized by a special button or sticker, you’re never alone, with colleagues ready to listen, support, and help us build a healthier workplace together.

Our Allentown, PA office recently volunteered at Second Harvest Food Bank in Nazareth, where the team helped pack boxes of nutritious food for local seniors.
