NEW YORK, April 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 25, Talkspace will be hosting its annual conference at the SFJazz Center from 8:30am-5:00pm. This year's theme is Reshaping Behavioral Health in the Workplace. Talkspace's 2017 conference will bring together thought leaders in behavioral health, research, technology, and human resources to discuss workplace challenges in mental health and the innovative approaches that are yielding effective outcomes.
Tickets are now available on Eventbrite.
"With mental illnesses ranking first among illnesses that cause disability in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, it's shocking that 85% of U.S. employees will remain undiagnosed or undertreated," said Oren Frank, CEO of Talkspace.
Featured speakers from Amgen, Beacon Health Options, Click Therapeutics, Doctor on Demand, General Assembly, MHA-NYC, One Medical, Yale University, and more will explore solutions for reducing the $300B lost by U.S. businesses each year due to mental health conditions in the following discussions:
"Companies have the power to influence the course of the health and wellness of their employees," said Lynn Hamilton, CCO at Talkspace. "People suffering from mental health conditions often lack the support they need from employers to access care. It's a problem that ultimately affects everyone in the work environment - colleagues, managers and the overall health of the organization. We hope this conference can shed light on the challenges exist so that together, we can forge a better path forward."
