I think it depends on what mental health support means. If it means helping pay for therapy and managers making accommodations and being genuinely supportive of people when they're having a hard time, that's fantastic.

Unfortunately at many companies it just means a presentation from HR every couple of months that boils down to "10 strategies to cope with the burnout we're causing". Meanwhile the people with actual power to change things keep pushing the same "aggressive" deadlines and refusing to provide the support/resources necessary to meet them in a healthy and sustainable way.
