Upcoming LinkedIn Live: The Workplace Mental Health Conversation You Can’t Afford to Miss

Mental health at work is no longer a “nice to have”, it’s a business imperative.

Yet, despite the rise of wellness programs and mental health perks, many HR leaders and managers are finding themselves stuck. Their teams are disengaged. Retention is dropping. And employees are quietly burning out behind digital wellness tools they never use.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. And you’re not stuck.

Join us live on August, 7, 2025 at 1 PM, EDT on LinkedIn for a high-impact conversation about what truly works when it comes to mental health at work. This free event, hosted by Calmerry, will bring together leading workplace mental health advocates to challenge outdated wellness norms and deliver strategies you can implement right away.

Meet the Speakers

This special session will feature two powerhouse mental health advocates and workplace well-being experts:

• Lisa Sugarman – Founder of The HelpHUB™, published author with Familius, 3x suicide loss survivor, Trevor Project Crisis Counselor, storyteller with NAMI, co-host of The Survivors Podcast, and nationally recognized mental health advocate. Lisa brings a deeply personal and professional perspective to the conversation, connecting lived experience with practical solutions that support both people and performance.
• Gretchen Schoser – Dynamic Senior Application Leader and award-winning podcast co-host of Sh!t That Goes on in Our Heads. Gretchen is known for helping organizations craft tailored wellness and talent solutions that elevate employee success and engagement. With deep operational and leadership experience, she bridges strategy with actionable workplace transformation.

Together, Lisa and Gretchen are the creators of The Workplace Mental Health Playbook, a field-tested, action-oriented resource co-developed with Calmerry to help HR leaders build resilient, people-first workplaces without needing massive budgets or complex systems.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• Why your wellness apps are gathering digital dust (and what employees really need instead)
• The hidden costs of mental health neglect and how it impacts your bottom line
• How to train managers to prevent burnout before it starts (not after)
• Simple, low-effort practices that build team resilience without adding to workloads
• How peer support and open conversations shift culture from toxic to thriving
• Actionable steps HR and People leaders can implement today to boost performance and retention

This isn’t another feel-good webinar. It’s a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation with two leaders who’ve helped transform workplaces and people’s lives.

Whether you’re an HR leader, a founder, or a people-first manager, this session is your chance to go beyond theory and get the real-world playbook.
