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 have dealt with employees' mental health issues.

While I agree it isn't the forum to bring up specific issues, I would suggest it is certainly the forum to bring up the resources that are available to your employees.
