Workplace mental health
Mental illness is now the leading cause of sickness absence and long-term work incapacity in the developed world, and costs Australian workplaces an estimated $10.9* billion a year.
Anyone who manages people or is responsible for a team should learn these essential skills. We also encourage organisations to train all their employees to learn how to support one another.
