The pandemic has disrupted lives, communities, and businesses around the world. It has also laid bare some severe economic and social issues, including mental health. Research shows that the pandemic increased adverse mental health conditions for many. In fact, a new Conference Board survey shows that 57% of workers say their mental health has declined since the start of the pandemic.
