Mental Health issues like stress, depression and anxiety affect millions of working adults. These issues affect not only their homelife, but also their workplace through downturns in productivity, presenteeism, absenteeism and anger, irritability or even violence in the workplace.

 Most adults with a mental health issue are in the workforce...you just do not hear about it. Mental health issues are not clearly as visible as a broken leg. Workers often ignore signs and symptoms delaying needed health care. To find out how to help a troublked employee get the help they need call your EAP or the Mental Health Association at 584-9125.
