The Conference Board of Canada (CBOC) recently published the first of a four-part series of reports on mental health and mental illness in Canadian workplaces. The Footprint of Mental Health Conditions: Healthy Brains at Work, released on May 22, is a 42-page document that profiles the state of mental health among the nation’s workers, reiterates the importance of addressing the issue and introduces practical tools, treatments and programs that employers can adopt to help employees. The report includes statistics and other data measuring mental illness in Canada and its prevalence among the working population, from historical trends to breakdowns of different disorders. “The prevalence of mental-health disorders is generally higher among employed Canadians than in the general population,” the report’s executive summary reads. “In fact, the workplace occurrence of mental-health disorders is more than 60 per cent higher than in the general Canadian population.” Healthy Brains at Work is available for free download from the CBOC’s website at http://www.conferenceboard.ca/e-library/abstract.aspx?did=7057; registration with the site is required.
