In the workplace We want to transform how workplaces of all shapes and sizes think about mental health and wellbeing.
Most adults spend at least a third of their time at work. At any given time, one in six working age adults have symptoms associated with mental ill health 1 . In the UK, mental ill health is responsible for 72 million working days lost and costs employers £34.9 billion each year 2 . These are significant productivity and financial costs to business.
We want a society where everyone can thrive. We will create a network of mental health aware and Mental Health First Aid skilled people in workplaces across the country. Healthier, happier workplaces are more productive and have a better impact on society. Since 2011 we have worked with over 20,000 workplaces, from local hairdressers to global corporations.
