Walgreens and Boots UK are both working to drive mental health awareness, particularly through employee health and well-being initiatives. In the U.S., Walgreens partnered with the National Council for Behavioral Health and the American Pharmacists Association to administer Mental Health First Aid training to 300 human resources managers and 2,000 pharmacists. Each learned to recognize the risk factors and warning signs, as well as the appropriate strategies to help. Afterwards, participants were empowered to teach this mental health literacy to their own teams. Similarly, Boots delivered mental health awareness training to more than 150 leaders across the business, focused on warning signs, initiating conversations, providing support and managing their own mental health.
