  • The cost of mental health on the Australian economy each year: 03:46
  • Characteristics of poor mental health to look for in others: 05:54
  • What are three ways to improve mental wellbeing? 08:52
  • Identifying characteristics of a mentally healthy workplace: 13:18
  • Signs that an employee is struggling and steps to take to offer support: 18:17
  • The importance for businesses to invest in mental health and the implications if this is not addressed: 23:28
