People in need of help are best off working with a professional. I mean, you wouldn't ask people to open up about their physical ailments in a group (that's what a doctor is for), so I'm not sure why you'd want them to open up about their mental struggles that way. Actually, the thought of it is quite shocking the more I think about it. What a terrible idea.

I don't think it's as much about getting counselling from your peers in a boardroom, as it is to simply get the message out about mental health, and possibly things at the workplace that could contribute to problems.
