Starbucks Begins Mental Health Training

In its latest move to address mental health in the workplace, Starbucks is making mental health training available for all U.S. assistant store managers, store managers, and above, in addition to all non-retail employees. The coffee chain announced that training will be available through July and is intended to provide employees with a resource that can help them listen for, recognize and respond to signs of mental health and addiction issues and provide resources available to their teams.

The training—dubbed Starbucks Mental Health Fundamentals—is inspired by the National Council for Behavioral Health’s Mental Health First . . .
