Mental health awareness has become more prevalent within society and highly discussed in health forums. However, with all this focus around mental health, very little of the population understand or know how to help a person in a mental health crisis; especially within Australian workplaces. Recently, a Health Profile of Australian Employees was conducted identifying around 65% of employees indicated moderate to high stress levels, and 41% had psychological distress levels considered a risk to their health. Unfortunately, costing business $10.9 billion annually. The Australian Government has seen this as a concern to our economy due to lack of management within our workplaces and has since developed the Healthy Workplace Alliance.
