It is estimated that 1 in 4 people will have a problem with mental health during their lifetime. Ignoring mental health issues in the workplace can be catastrophic not only for the individual but could also impact on the business itself. Spotting the signs and reaching out a helping hand is therefore important.

Mental illness is taking centre stage in the workplace not only because of its profound personal costs, but also because of the impact on the bottom line of absenteeism and staff turnover.
