Abstract
Looking to see what companies are doing about employee mental wellness is like looking into a kaleidoscope. The variety is immense. Programs come in every shape and size, ranging from one-person offices to huge multiprofessional departments. They deal with every conceivable problem a human being might have: serious mental impairments, marital difficulties, alcoholism, financial problems, lack of housing, family crises, and many others. This paper represents an attempt to capture some of that variety through case studies of thirteen companies.
