About Job Stress Help
Job Stress Help (JSH) is a resource hub dedicated to recognizing, understanding, and reducing workplace stress — for the people who experience it, the employers and HR teams responsible for healthy workplaces, and the mental health professionals who support them. Workplace stress has moved from a quietly tolerated career hazard to a documented driver of burnout, turnover, healthcare costs, and preventable mental health consequences. JSH brings together the foundational information, practical strategies, and supporting resources we’ve found most useful across years of work in this space.
Who this site is for
The content here is structured around three audiences:
- Employees currently navigating workplace stress — our Job Stress Tips and Fast Facts About Job Stress sections cover practical day-to-day coping strategies and the research-backed baseline information worth knowing.
- Employers, HR teams, and benefits decision-makers — see our Virtual EAP for Employers section for employee assistance program models, plus the Press Releases archive for organization-level workplace wellness developments.
- Mental health professionals, researchers, and consultants — the JSH Staff page covers our team’s background, our Consultants directory lists qualified professionals in workplace stress, and the Helpful Links directory points to peer organizations and clinical resources.
What you’ll find here
Information and guidance
Our Frequently Asked Questions page answers the questions we get most often — about how to recognize workplace stress, when stress crosses into burnout, what employees are legally entitled to, and how to evaluate an employer’s mental health support. The Fast Facts section is the briefer companion: the headline statistics, the patterns research has consistently identified, and the trends worth knowing.
Practical coping strategies
Job Stress Tips collects the practical day-to-day techniques — stress recognition, communication scripts for difficult workplace conversations, boundary-setting, sleep and recovery basics, and when to escalate to a professional. We focus on strategies that are simple enough to actually implement during a stressful week, not aspirational routines that require an ideal schedule.
Resources for employers
Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) have evolved significantly in the last decade, particularly with the shift to remote and hybrid work. Our Virtual EAP for Employers section covers the modern EAP landscape: what’s included in current offerings, how to evaluate vendors, integration with existing benefits, and the measurement frameworks that actually predict utilization.
The consultants directory
The Consultants page maintains a directory of professionals working in workplace stress, organizational psychology, and employee wellness consulting — useful when you need specialized expertise beyond what self-service resources can address.
Industry developments
The Press Releases archive tracks organizational announcements, partnership news, and significant developments in workplace mental health support. The JSH Newsletter distills the most useful research and policy developments into a manageable monthly digest — sign up if you want a regular touchpoint without committing to constant monitoring. For longer-form articles and ongoing commentary, see our Blog.
Careers and team

External resources
For situations beyond what we cover here, our Helpful Links directory points to peer organizations, clinical resources, government agencies, and crisis support. This is the page to bookmark if you’re trying to navigate a specific situation and need to find the right specialized resource quickly.
