Mental Health and the Workplace

Updated 20 Jun 2011 07:35 p.m. ET by meyer4m.blogspot.com

About 44 per cent Canadians say they've coped with a mental health problem such as extreme stress, depression, substance abuse or schizophrenia, according to a survey that suggests employees aren't the only ones paying the price

The report, Building Mentally Healthy Workplaces, was released by the Conference Board of Canada today based on a national survey of more than 1,000 employees

In the survey, 12 per cent of respondents said they were currently experiencing a mental health issue and another 32 per cent said they'd faced one in the past

The report suggests more openness in discussing mental health in the workplace and training for managers
