This topic is about understanding the concepts of mental health and wellbeing in your workplace.

What is this topic about?

We examine what 'mental health' means and the two most common issues of mental health: depression and anxiety. 

This includes becoming more aware of potential signs of mental health issues, in yourself and others, as well as understanding how you and others can help.

Why is this topic important?

This topic is important because over 3 million Australians are living with anxiety or depression. Mental health issues are far more common than most people realise. It is possible - even likely - you will have encountered people with mental health concerns in your workplace. The good news is that you can help yourself or others suffering from anxiety or depression even if you are not completely sure of all the signs, causes and treatment available. It all starts with awareness and recognition of mental health in the first instance.

Who is this topic for?

This topic is suitable for all employees.

Managers and supervisors may prefer the topic 'Mental health awareness for managers'.
