PARTING THOUGHTS ON
IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH
IN THE FOODSERVICE
INDUSTRY
The very best thing everyone can
do to improve mental health in the
foodservice industry is simply talk
about it. Once it stops being a taboo
topic, the stigma disappears, and
people will feel more comfortable
getting the help they need.
No establishment is truly successful
if its staff members are experiencing
mental health issues and is considered
a toxic work environment. Changing
the industry needs to be a team effort;
no one establishment can do it alone,
but each can make small but effective
changes that add up to a better
environment for all. E
