How do you go about managing poor mental health? Particularly things like loneliness, stress, depression or anxiety? We give you guidance and practical tips on how to do so, and we look at changes in staff behaviour and what to watch out for. Section 2 also has additional resources that provide handy overviews of other mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and personality disorders.

This section looks deeper into how poor mental health can impact businesses and the importance of providing good working conditions. We look at the importance of having a ‘mental health at work plan’, making workplace adjustments when needed and we also show you how to effectively monitor staff wellbeing at regular intervals.

In this final section, we’ve created a ‘hub’ for external mental health management. It offers great starting points for improving wellbeing, information on external books, websites, apps and helplines.
