The theme for World Mental Health Day 2024, which takes place on Thursday this week, is “It is time to prioritise mental health in the workplace.”
This theme focuses on addressing the mental health challenges many people face in their work environments. It emphasises the importance of creating supportive workplace cultures where mental well-being is a priority.
The goal is to reduce the prevalence of work-related stress, depression, and anxiety, which are significant contributors to mental health issues globally.
The hope is, that highlighting the impact that the workplace may have on employees, businesses and organisations will be encouraged to implement practices that foster a healthier work-life balance, provide mental health resources, and combat the stigma surrounding mental health in professional settings.
