3577 The Mental Health Framework

Overview:

This framework aims to assist organisations and companies in establishing, maintaining or improving their employee mental health programmes. It covers a broad range of topics to help facilitate a cultural shift within the workplace, where mental health is a core value, and it is treated with the same importance as physical health. It serves as a valuable resource, providing practical advice and useful references that can be adapted for different work environments and organisational structures.

It is aimed at a diverse range of professionals including:

• professionals at the beginning of their understanding of mental health and how mental health programmes are integrated into organisations;
• professionals with responsibility for wellbeing and mental health within their organisation, but who are not experts in mental health, or
• those seeking help and support for a particular mental health issue, and who would like to develop mental health policies and practices in their workplace.

It is intended that this publication will be reviewed and revised on an annual basis, as related standards, industry practices, or practical experiences evolve.
