"I WANT TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF PTSD"
“PTSD affected my life and work. Support my charity and help us fund dedicated training to UK businesses. The workplace can be extremely challenging for people with PTSD, I want to make it easier” – Nathan Bowen, Founder
Mental illness, including conditions such as PTSD, 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.
