Thresholds is thrilled to announce that we have been nationally recognized for our wellness efforts within the workplace, earning the Silver Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health from Mental Health America. The Bell Seal is a national certification that recognizes employers who excel in supporting the mental health and well-being of their staff. At Thresholds, supporting mental health is at the core of our mission, for both our employees and our clients. This recognition reflects our collaborative effort to build a workplace where people feel supported, respected, and able to ask for help when they need it. “As one of Illinois’ largest providers of recovery services for people living with mental health and substance use conditions, Thresholds knows that creating a culture of mental wellness starts from within,” said Mark Ishaug, Thresholds' President and CEO. “We are honored to be recognized among national leaders in workplace mental health and proud to set an example for what a supportive, equitable workplace can be.” Read more on our blog. https://bit.ly/43DGikE #bellseal #MentalHealthMonth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #MentalHealthMonday #MentalHealth (fb)

Last week, Thresholds' Community Engagement and Equity staff attended the 15th annual Latino Unity Day in Springfield. Hosted by Latino Policy Forum, Latino Unity Day is a gathering of community leaders, allies, and advocates to connect, learn, and inspire change while celebrating the strength and unity of Latinos in Illinois. This annual gathering is a powerful opportunity to come together, amplify voices, and advocate for Latino equity. (fb)
