Understanding Common Mental Health Problems

With 1 in 4 of us estimated to experience mental health difficulties each year, common mental health problems will affect the personal and working lives of a large proportion of the population. 

By developing an understanding of these difficulties, we can help to reduce stigma and the misconceptions associated with mental health as well as increase confidence when working with and supporting those experiencing common mental health problems in the workplace.
