Mental health care for everyone
It is undeniable that the greatest tool we bring to the workplace is our minds. We need it for everything - to accomplish tasks, solve problems, prepare the presentation, make the sale, manage the team. The ability for employees to think clearly, coherently, and creatively and execute can mean the difference between winning and losing for a company. This is why at Infinit Care, we believe that companies need to care about the mental health of every employee, at all times.
OUR GUIDING FRAMEWORK
The Mental Health Continuum
At Infinit Care, we understand that mental health and illness are not independent from one another. They’re best understood as two poles on a linear scale that goes from green to red, “excelling” to “in crisis” — a continuum. And as people, we move back and forth on the scale throughout our lives depending on what we’re going through, how we feel, what we think, and the support we have.
The Healthy Point
People who lie at this point are generally satisfied and happy in their lives. They are emotionally well-balanced, stable, and goal-oriented.
The Problem Point
This is the mid-range of the continuum. People who lie at this point may show some distress and inability to cope, but are capable of performing daily life functions.
The Disorder Point
This is the end of the continuum, and as the name suggests, people falling under this category are unable to cope with stress and exhibit significant changes in their thoughts, behavior, and actions.

Individuals constantly move along the continuum and need different solutions to nudge them towards the left side of the scale.
