WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY

On World Mental Health Day, let’s talk about how our mental health can help us cope better with life’s ups and downs.

World Mental Health Day is celebrated every year on 10th October. This year’s theme set by the hashtagWorldFederationofMentalHealth is workplace mental health. The theme highlights the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, for the benefit of people, organisations, and communities.

Work can have a huge impact on our mental health. It can be good for our mental health, giving us a sense of purpose, boosting our self-worth, and providing opportunities to connect with others. But it can also be a source of stress and anxiety and contribute to developing or worsening mental health problems.

15% of UK workers are estimated to have an existing mental health condition.
875,000 workers suffering from work-related stress, depression and anxiety in 2022/23.

5th most common reason for sickness absence in 2022 was mental health.

Many people spend a lot of their time working, whether that’s in the community, in an office, a workshop, at home, or many other workplaces.
That’s why it’s so important that our workplace supports our mental health, helping us get the mental health benefits of work while reducing the negative impact.
