Around one in four of us experiences challenges with our mental health in any given year. Work can be one of the most important factors on your mental health, so unions have a vital role to play in raising awareness of mental health as a workplace issue and supporting members with mental health problems.

The intense pressure of Covid-19 led to a spike in adverse mental health issues affecting workers. Remote working has blurred the lines between mental health in the workplace and at home and has made it even harder for workers to create a healthy work life balance.

This is why mental health is an increasingly important issue for trade unions.
