Mental Health in the Workplace Awareness Level 3

Mental illness is a term used to describe mental health conditions that impact mood, thinking, and behavior. These disorders may interfere with a person’s ability to relate to others and function daily. Mental ill health is becoming a common condition for an individual’s psychological and emotion well-being. Many individuals struggle in silence without receiving the necessary support needed to manage their condition, while others may not even realise they have an illness and continue to suffer despite its devastating effects on their lives.

Mental health awareness initiatives help those who are suffering to understand how the symptoms of mental health disorders manifest, allowing them to seek treatment before their condition worsens and prevents significant disruptions to their social or work life. The Health & Safety act 1974 states that companies have a duty of care for all employees Health, Safety & Welfare at work. The Welfare aspect of the act must consider employees’ mental health in the workplace.
