At Tapestry, we want you to bring your best self to work. When we feel supported, we’re better able to think boldly, innovate, and create exceptional experiences and products for our consumers. That’s why supporting well-being — including mental health — is such an important part of how we care for our people.
Since 2018, Mental Health First Aid Certification (MHFA) has helped nearly 1,000 Tapestry team members around the world develop skills they can use to care for their own mental health and foster a more connected, caring workplace.
As part of the relationship with National Council, Tapestry became the first organization to adopt MHFA at Work for Retail, a retail-specific training model. Learn more about our partnership through this case study.
More from our Mental Health First Aiders:
“Past experiences motivated me to learn Mental Health First Aid, where I developed skills to recognize early signs, listen actively, and respond with empathy without judgment. Importantly, I’ve learned not to trivialize potential signs for help. I believe MHFA in the workplace can raise awareness, support employees, and reduce stigma, ensuring no one has to face mental health challenges alone.” — Mark Gan, Service Delivery, Retail Tapestry, APAC
“Being a Mental Health First Aider is one of the most fulfilling roles I’ve ever taken on. I’m helping to break down stigma and create a culture where mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health. Every conversation, no matter how small, is a step toward building a more compassionate and supportive environment. That’s what makes this role so special — it’s about human connection, kindness, and the courage to care.” — Rupa Jandu, Executive Assistant & EU Special Projects Executive, EMEAI
