There Is No Health Without Mental Health 

America is battling a mental health crisis with escalating diagnoses of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, among others. This crisis is detrimental to the workforce and the working environment for employers of all sizes and in all sectors. Negative impacts have real costs to profitability, including reduced productivity, deteriorating employee engagement, and increased costs of health benefits. According to a 2025 study by Koa Health, 69% of organizations are prioritizing mental health to improve employee’s quality of life and 53% are investing in mental health support to address concerns about its impact on productivity. At the same time, 66% of working adults report that mental health support is difficult to access, or they are unsure of how to navigate the system. 

As the voice of and for business, Greater Rockford Chamber of Commerce has assembled a panel of healthcare experts to help our business community demystify behavioral health and discover ways to promote wellbeing in the workplace. The panel will expose the realities of mental illness in the workplace and share ways to promote a higher quality of life for your employees. Our panelists include: Travis Andersen, UW Health; Jason Holcomb, Region 1 Planning Council and Winnebago County Community Mental Health Board; Carlene Cardosi, Rosecrance; Laura Kane, Marshmallow's HOPE & Danielle Angileri, NAMI.
