The issue with this sort of policy is that while you obviously mean well in doing this, people will tend to conflate "mental health" with things like "feeling stressed out" or generally being sad, and the people who are struggling with things like staying alive on a day to day basis tend to get the message that this isn't really the environment for that discussion. Not to diminish the importance of talking about work stress in a workplace environment, but there's just so much noise on this topic that it's really hard to have an effective conversation about what are some pretty discrete and distinct issues.
