Stats: 50% of employees uncomfortable discussing mental health
Even before the pandemic took hold, an estimated one in eight people globally were living with a mental health disorder. This was exacerbated by the pandemic, with estimates putting the subsequent rise in anxiety and depressive disorders at over 25%, according to a new report from Interact, a global workplace software company. While residents and members are affected, so are staff. Citing the American Psychiatric Association that only 50% of employees are comfortable discussing mental health issues, and inspired by the Ipsos World Mental Health Day report, Interact recently released a guide for supporting good mental health in the workplace.

Loneliness widespread globally, across generations
Loneliness at a problematic level is widespread in many countries, according to a meta-analysis of evidence from 113 countries and territories during 2000-19 (prepandemic!). Active-aging industry leaders need to stay tuned to what some are now calling an epidemic of loneliness, and take steps to ensure inclusion among all constituents. The study authors note that loneliness not only affects mental health and wellbeing, it is also linked to a range of physical health problems and early death.

Sitting more linked to depression, anxiety
As people adhered to stay-at-home orders or self-isolated during the early months of the COVID-19 outbreak, daily commutes turned into shuffles between the bedroom and the living room.
