Guidance for workplaces on how to support individuals experiencing mental health problems

Workers experiencing mental health problems usually want to continue to work. This report offers workplaces practical information on measures that can be taken to support these workers to work or return to work after sickness absence.

A primary recommendation is that mental health problems should be treated in the same way as physical health problems. Equally important is preventing work-related risks that could impact workers’ mental health and wellbeing. The report provides practical examples of inexpensive and simple accommodations that can help them support and retain workers.
