Mental Health Awareness

Mental health is an essential part of our overall health, as important as our physical health. It is important because it affects how we feel, think and behave, even though it may not be clear to others or readily understood.

Mentally healthy workplaces are productive and positive places to work. Businesses that actively promote good mental health can attract and retain top talent, and get the best out of people, because employees feel supported and encouraged.
