In Scotland 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem and most of these will not talk about their struggles. Also nearly 40 per cent of Scottish workers think colleagues are unlikely to speak about a mental health problem at work for fear of losing their job. Mental health stigma is still a real issue in workplaces across Scotland.

 

At Employability Orkney we know how important it is to have an open dialogue regarding mental health and know the importance of supporting our staff and volunteers through any struggles they may have. We know that with support and understanding they can grow in confidence and learn how to manage the challenges that can affect their well-being and mental health.
