Mental Health Resources for Employers
Approximately one out of four people has a mental health issue each year.1 These issues can—and do—spill over into the workplace. The more employers know about these conditions and how to assist employees who are suffering from them, the better for all concerned.
Fortunately, resources are available for employers from government, businesses, and other organizations. Here are just some of those resources:
CIPD: Mental Health in the Workplace
Acas: Supporting mental health at work
HSE: Stress and mental health at work
Public Health Scotland: Mental health and wellbeing
Scottish Government Mental Health Strategy (2017-2027)
