Mental health in the workplace affects us all, whether we are employers or employees.

When mental health issues are not addressed and treated appropriately, there can be considerable personal and financial costs to individuals and organizations. Fortunately, with prevention, early treatment and support, many of these costs can be significantly reduced or eliminated entirely.

Some organizations have begun to focus on what they can do to support the mental health of their employees. Given predictions that depression will be the second leading cause of disability in 2020, we can expect mental health in the workplace to become a key management issue in the years to come.
