We are PTSD At Work, thank you for visiting us!
Mental illness, including conditions such as anxiety and depression, is the leading cause of sickness absence in the United Kingdom, with a recent British study estimating the figure to be approximately 70 million sick days per year. The cost of mental illness in the United Kingdom is around £100 billion per year *
Conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are becoming more recognised, yet due to lack of understanding, many employers are not aware of how much it can impact on a person’s working life and what changes need to be made in the workplace, to support an employee who is suffering.
PTSD At Work wants to change this, by raising awareness of the disorder and the ways in which it affects individuals at work. By creating a mentally healthy workplace, absences can be reduced, productivity can improve and employees can work in an environment where they feel valued, appreciated and safe.
