World Mental Health Day 2017 Tackles Work Place Wellbeing

During our adult lives, a large proportion of our time is spent at work. Our experience in the workplace is one of the factors determining our overall wellbeing. Employers and managers who put in place workplace initiatives to promote mental health and to support employees who have mental disorders see gains not only in the health of their employees but also in their productivity at work. A negative working environment, on the other hand, may lead to physical and mental health problems, harmful use of substances or alcohol, absenteeism and lost productivity. (WHO Website)

Depression and anxiety disorders are common mental disorders that have an impact on our ability to work, and to work productively.
