Allied Health Professions Australia’s Post

As the world acknowledges #WorldMentalHealthDay, we proudly acknowledge allied health professionals, and the ways that they work to improve mental health. We also stand with the World Health Organization to raise awareness about the connection between mental health and the workplace. A safe and supportive work environment is essential for protecting mental health, but harmful conditions like stigma, discrimination and harassment put it at risk. With 60% of the world’s population in the workforce, as a community it's time to take action. It is essential for governments, employers, the organisations that represent workers and employers, and other stakeholders responsible for workers’ health and safety to work together to improve mental health at work. Action to address mental health at work should be done with the meaningful involvement of workers and their representatives, and persons with lived experience of mental health conditions. By investing efforts and resources in evidence-based approaches and interventions at work, we can ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive at work and in life.
