What workplace mental health and neurodiversity support involves
Mental ill health is the single biggest cause of work-related ill health in Great Britain and the leading cause of work-related absence. In 2024/25, 964,000 workers had stress, depression or anxiety caused or made worse by work, and 22.1 million working days were lost to it (HSE).
We bring clinical assessment, practical training and organisational tools together in one place – from a single management referral through to a full stress risk assessment across your organisation.

Support mental health and neurodiversity at work
Two ways in: practical steps you can take now, or find the support that fits.
