Mental health is a subject that is getting a lot of attention right now.
The COVID pandemic has resulted in a lot of media attention about wellbeing and the effects of poor mental health. But we have known this for a long time, not just because of COVID.
One in six employees will experience depression, anxiety or stress at work. Last year, there were over 600,000 recorded cases of work-related stress and 54% of days lost due to illness are because of stress-related problems.
Over 6,000 cases of suicide occur each year in the UK.
Mental health illness is the second largest burden on the health service, the NHS spends £105 billion each year on mental health treatments.
The list of statistics goes on and on. But behind these figures are real people. Each one of those numbers equates to a person who is suffering from anxiety, stress or unable to do their job properly.
Companies, large and small, have a role to play. There is a legal requirement in the UK for employers to ‘take reasonable care’ of their employees and this includes both physical and mental health.
There has never been more demand for professional consultants to help business leaders and to help individuals cope with life and its pressures.
