World Mental Health Day | 10 October 2025
Today, we’re thinking about those who are struggling to stay in work — not because they lack commitment, but because they’re overwhelmed.
Some are battling declining mental health themselves.
Others are stretched thin, caring for a loved one with a serious mental illness.
Both are facing difficult, often invisible decisions.
According to the Right Treatment, Right Time report (Rethink, October 2025), 1 in 5 people had to give up work while waiting for mental health treatment due to long NHS waiting lists.
This is not sustainable — for individuals or for organisations.
So, we ask:
👉 What do you, as a leader or employer, to support these individuals while also balancing business needs?
👉 How can you better support the working parent of a child with mental health challenges — already spinning far too many plates?
These are essential today and every day, please start a conversation to share sustainable solutions with others to create mentally healthy work place cultures.
