With 3.2 million Australians, or 1 in 5 people, suffering from a mental disorder each year, it’s likely someone you know is suffering in silence.

Whether it is at home or in the workplace, mental health can have a huge impact on a person’s physical health, relationships and career. In particular, employers must ensure they are meeting their obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act, which is increasingly turning its attention towards mental health being just as important as the physical health of an employee.

Being prepared with some basic knowledge and advice centred on best practice will give you the tools you will need to support someone experiencing a mental health crisis.
