"Mental health isn't just a cause, it's a calling. As an HR professional with a deep interest in organizational behavior, I've seen how burnout and workaholism can quietly affect even the most driven teams." - Audree W., member of Food for Thought CRG at Sysco

May was Mental Health Awareness Month!

"Meditation and mindfulness are a beneficial daily practice for me and now Sysco has made it easier for our colleagues to access those resources with the Headspace app." - April C., member of Food for Thought CRG at Sysco

At Sysco, we recognize that supporting mental health is essential to building a strong, inclusive workplace. We're proud to introduce Food for Thought, our Mental Health Colleague Resource Group, created to champion mental well-being across our organization.

"I joined FFT because I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. I practice regular Self-Compassion. This means I treat myself with the same kindness and understanding that I offer to a friend or family member." - Mandi M., member of Food for Thought CRG at Sysco

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month—and in alignment with this year’s theme, Turning Awareness into Action—the CRG is hosting a series of internal events and sharing tools to reduce stigma, foster education, and encourage meaningful support.

By investing in mental health, we strengthen our teams, our culture, and our impact.

"I meditate everyday which has made a huge positive impact on my mental health. I often use my membership to Headspace which is provided at no charge for Sysco colleagues." - Mindi M., member of Food for Thought CRG at Sysco
