This is the latest webinar from the American Psychological Association, an ICMA partner in the CEOs Advancing Health Equity initiative, for leaders championing the mental health and well-being of their employees.

Surveys show that 81% of workers say that employers’ support of mental health is important to them in their future job decisions. One primary way employers provide mental health support is through benefits, such as mental health coverage and employee assistance programs.

Did you know that the US government requires companies and organizations to support their employees through the Mental Health Parity law?

In today’s environment, what do employers need to know about laws and regulations governing mental health benefits and how they can best comply with the letter – and spirit – of the law in a way that provides the most valuable impact for their employees?

Join this webinar with experts to learn more about:

• the mental health parity in benefits laws,
• new legislation and emerging enforcement rules,
• how it could affect your organization, and
• what you can do to best support your team.

An open Q&A will follow the conversation.

Panelists

• David Lloyd, Chief Policy Officer, The Kennedy Forum
• Ilyse Schuman, Senior Vice President, Health Policy, American Benefits Council

Moderator

• Terri Schwartzbeck, Director of Strategic Public Engagement and Community Outreach, American Psychological Association
