Action for Mental Health at Work

Government, employers, the organizations which represent workers and employers, and other stakeholders responsible for workers’ health and safety can help to improve mental health at work through action to:

• prevent work-related mental health conditions by preventing the risks to mental health at work;

• protect and promote mental health at work;

• support workers with mental health conditions to participate and thrive in work; and

• create an enabling environment for change.

Action to address mental health at work should be done with the meaningful involvement of workers and their representatives, and persons with lived experience of mental health conditions.
