Marki Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 From what I’ve seen, focusing on mental health is key for safety. At my company, once we started regular mental health check-ins, we actually saw a 20% drop in close calls and minor incidents. It’s clear that keeping our minds sharp helps keep us safe on the roads.

deez8 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I can personally vouch for the benefits of mental health support. There was a time when I was going through a rough patch, and having access to counseling through work made a huge difference. It helped me feel more grounded and enthusiastic about my job again, which definitely reflected in my driving and my attitude at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Em Ka Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Making mental health a priority has opened up the lines of communication among us drivers. At my company, they started a peer support group, and it’s been great. Sharing our experiences and coping methods has brought us closer together, creating a more supportive and understanding environment. It feels safer knowing you’re not alone and can talk openly about what you’re going through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
