The situation:
Mental health difficulties are becoming everyone’s problem.
The World Health organization highlighted that due to mental disorders and other mental health conditions, twelve billion working days are lost every year, causing an estimated global economic loss of US$ 1 trillion annually. Lack of effective support can impact a person’s confidence, productivity, contribute to work absences, difficulties with job retention and recruitment.
The Archives of General Psychiatry reported the importance of mental health needs in schools as, 1 in 5 children and youth have a diagnosable emotional, behavioral or mental health disorder and 1 in 10 young people have a mental health challenge that impairs their functioning at home, school and the community.
We believe employers and educators have a front-line role in promoting and protecting well-being in the environments they create.
