Anxiety, depression and OCD are some of the mental health issues that so many people suffer from in silence. To raise awareness on mental health and to encourage employees to speak up about their hidden disabilities, L’Oréal Middle East launched “Never Alone”, a campaign that sheds light on Mental Health and addresses the fact that disabilities should be voiced out and accepted without embarrassment, shame or stigma.

In addition, employees were encouraged open up about their hidden disabilities through creating confidential channels with L’Oréal Middle East Diversity and Inclusion Champion.
