For business
We offer a range of training, workshops, advice and therapies for businesses. So why does my business need to support staff?
The World Health Organisation estimates that by 2020, depression will become the second most important cause of disability in the world. Whatever the causes of increased mental illness, the reality is that it had become so common that people at work will inevitably have to deal with it in themselves, their colleagues or managers.
Line managers and colleagues in the front line can make the biggest difference in the field of mental health at work. Reacting appropriately to signs of distress, maintaining contact with people who may be off work due to illness and constructing practical return to work plans for those recovering from mental health problems are the simple things that can prove job saving, money saving and sometimes even life saving.
