As Mental Health Month comes to a close this month in the USA, Dieline wanted to speak to a wide array of design and branding agencies about what initiatives they run to support mental health in the workplace and what they are doing to raise awareness for this issue.

We all know the design industry can be stressful at times, so what steps are agencies taking to reduce stress in the workplace? These days many agencies recognize how important it is to empower their employees to be happy at work, but what are the benefits of this? And if you spot an employee on the brink of burnout, what should you do?

We spoke to some of the folks at Vault49, Echo, Here Design, Ragged Edge, and Straight Forward Design on what agencies can do to create a supportive community and help prevent designer burnout.
