Interview with Jenny Girard, Implementation Specialist of BOSS Software at The Integra Group, Inc.

Prioritize your mental well-being by taking mental health days; it's not a weakness but a strategy for increased efficiency and better decision-making.

Be curious, not judgmental, when observing changes in your team members' behavior, as it may signal underlying mental health struggles.

Recognize the signs of burnout, such as short temper, brain fog, difficulty making decisions, and physical ailments, and address them promptly.

Seek professional help (therapy, coaching) to train your mind for long-term resilience, just as you would train your body for physical endurance.

Utilize free or low-cost mental health resources available in your community, such as crisis lines, support networks, and educational books.

Practice self-care activities like journaling, spending time with loved ones, or engaging in hobbies to destress and maintain mental clarity.

Consider offering Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) or other mental health benefits to your team, demonstrating a commitment to their overall well-being.
