Healthy Work Healthy Mind LEADS Program

Transform workplace mental health with this five-step approach.

LEADS (Learn, Educate, Act, Deploy, Study) is the pilot program from LEO’s Healthy Work Healthy Mind initiative. Designed for Michigan employers ready to take the next step, this six-month, consultant-supported program helps businesses assess, educate and transform their workplace culture to prioritize mental health and employee wellbeing.

LEADS provides a clear, structured path to lasting change — starting with your commitment.

  • Train leaders and staff to recognize and respond to mental health challenges 
  • Empower employees to shape a healthier work environment 
  • Implement policy and workflow changes that reduce stress and increase support 
  • Measure progress and continuously improve
