It’s time to start talking about mental health in the workplace
I have just released a free ebook called “Best Practice in Managing Mental Health in the Workplace”. It can be found at www.IamBackFromTheBrink.com/work It details how how the time has passed to pretend that depression and anxiety disorder don’t exist in the workplace. We must start talking about these issues if we are going to confront this epidemic.
The World Health Organisation says that depression is going to be the second most disabling illness in the world by 2020 yet only 9% of those living with depression feel comfortable discussing their condition with work colleagues.
The ebook contains a summary of a global literature search undertaken by VicHealth to find the most successful programs that meets the needs of both the individual and the organisations. It also contains a comprehensive outline of Telstra’s world leading “Mental Health and Resilience Program” and advice on how similar programs should be presented to the leadership team.
