With a focus on the hospitality industry, the Sanvello community has the potential to help food safety professionals find relatable resources to ward of anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With anxiety, depression and isolation come increased risk for addiction or relapse from addiction recovery. Ben&#8217;s Friends was founded in honor of a lifelong food safety professional, Ben Murray, whose struggle with addiction led him to take his own life. They are currently offering free Zoom meetings to food and beverage personnel who struggle with drug and alcohol addiction. With a focus on food industry professionals, they have a first-hand perspective on addiction in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/psychhub.com\/\">Psych Hub<\/a> offers comprehensive mental health resources and education that covers a great number of topics. From anxiety to suicide prevention, <a href=\"https:\/\/psychhub.com\/\">Psych Hub<\/a> has an extensive mental health video library to assist those dealing with mental health problems during trying times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a real person to talk or text with about a mental health crisis, the Crisis Text Line is available 24\/7. Just text 741741 anywhere in the United States to be immediately connected to a trained volunteer who will be instantly ready to provide support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or a food safety professional friend are feeling too overwhelmed with anxiety, depression, addiction or any other form of mental health issue that these free resources don&#8217;t cover, don&#8217;t hesitate to reach out to a professional rather than self-diagnose and self-treat. Mental health is an issue that should never be ignored and neglected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COVID-19 has taken its toll on the physical, economic and mental health of working professionals in our country, and the foodservice industry has been especially hard hit.
