Your Mental Health Matters
Deutsche Bank is committed to fostering a supportive environment where it's okay to not be okay. We encourage you to take charge of your health, prioritize self-care, check in with colleagues, and be your most authentic self. You can refer to the resources on this page for tools, tips, and support available to you. Together, we can create a culture that values openness, empathy, and well-being for all.
dbEnable US Employee Resource Group (ERG)
dbEnable US is dedicated to fostering an inclusive, accessible, and supportive workplace for employees with visible and invisible disabilities and their allies. The group advocates for disability awareness, accessibility in the workplace, and equal opportunities through education, events, and strategic initiatives. By empowering individuals of all abilities, dbEnable helps cultivate a culture where everyone can thrive and bring their full selves to work.
Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA)
MHFAs are colleagues who have voluntarily trained to act as "first responders" to help provide well-being support to others in the Bank. Just like CPR helps you assist someone in a physical health crisis, MHFAs are equipped to offer initial support and connect someone to appropriate resources.
Embedding MHFAs in the Bank helps raise awareness of the importance of wellbeing and helping people to talk more freely about mental health, promoting early intervention which enables recovery, reducing stigma and creating a positive culture.
"What's on Your Mind?" Virtual Forum
The monthly forum is led by the MHFAs and is intended to create an open and supportive environment to share. There is no set agenda and no obligation to speak or turn on your camera. Feel free to simply listen. Sessions are held at 2pm ET on the 3rd Thursday of each month. Use the link below to request the meeting invite.
