Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), employees are entitled to take protected time off for serious health conditions—including mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, or other challenges that significantly impact daily functioning.
If workplace stress is contributing to a decline in your mental health, using FMLA is a valid and important step in prioritizing your well-being. This time can give you the space to rest, receive treatment, focus on recovery, and reflect on whether your current role is the right fit for you.
Taking FMLA is a way to help yourself and a powerful act of self-care. 💜🖤
