At Elsevier, we understand that life can be challenging at times. So, we stepped up to help our people deal with some of the pandemic's challenges unleashed in India recently. MiTR, our EAP in India, ensures that our people and their families are provided much-needed help in dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, etc. Beyond COVID-19 related issues, we provided the helpline access for emotional support because of the overwhelming circumstances some of our people and their loved ones found themselves. As much as the focus on mental health increased, the acknowledgement through the services became key to ensure access to resources, especially as resources became scarce. To help combat the wave of misinformation about the virus and support our customers, Elsevier launched the India Covid-19 Healthcare Hub, a new COVID-19 Hub specifically developed for India. The website includes short synoptic clinical overviews

How Elsevier helped me regain trust and comfort in “corporate America” - Derrick Walker I needed to find a company that welcomed cultural difference; I finally came across Elsevier. Derrick Walker is a Multimedia Producer at Elsevier, based in St Louis, Missouri. As a young man from the inner city of St Louis, I had an ambitious goal: to mentally make it out — to achieve more than statistics said I would. With an amazing support system, the journey of hurdling the obstacles of limited resources — and knocking down doors of opportunities — seemed well worth the effort.
