  2. Economic & Social Cost • One in 7 visits to a GP are about mental health issues. • One in six employees (5,000,000 workers at any time) are currently experiencing mental illness. • More working days are lost due to stress, anxiety and depression than for any other illness:- Lost production - £30 billion p.a. Total costs - £105 billion

  3. Could we be adding to or creating a problem within our workplace? How can we become a more mentally healthy workplace? Just ask yourself…. No one needs to be an expert in mental health, to have a “mentally healthy” workplace. Being able to talk about mental health at work will quickly reveal an understanding & knowledge that is already present – your Hidden Talents!
