When it comes to dealing with stress, men tend to focus on fixing problems, as opposed to women who try to change their internal response to stressors. A problem-focused approach is often successful, except when the source of the stress cannot be eliminated. We believe that given the robust resurgence of COVID-19, the Mental Health Index illustrates this concept quite eloquently.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The impact of the pandemic on mental health is starting to even out across the gender gap,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Michael Thompson<\/span>, National Alliance president and CEO. &#8220;While men may have been less impacted environmentally over the last eight months, their passive approach to coping may be catching up with them as the pandemic endures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-person\">Garen Staglin<\/span>, Chairman of One Mind at Work, commented, &#8220;Employers should see this latest data and understand that all of their employees \u2013 men and women alike \u2013 are suffering from the pandemic.
