10th October is World Mental Health Day - a day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy
According to the Diversity Council Australia (DCA) in any one year, around one million Australian adults have depression, and more than 2 million have anxiety. Untreated mental health conditions cost Australian employers $10.9 billion every year through absenteeism, reduced productivity and compensation claims. But the good news is that for every $1 invested in effective mental health initiatives there is a return of $2.30.
