Our new animation
The animation is designed to be an introduction to the topic of mental health and we hope it will be a useful resource for workplaces to introduce the topic to employees.
The animation covers what mental health is, as well as some of the metaphors people use to talk about their mental health, what may cause mental health problems and the types of support that are available.
