Today is World Mental Health Day, an important time to shine a light on mental health in the workplace. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), poor mental health can lead to decreased performance, absence from work and increased staff turnover. Depression and anxiety alone result in roughly 12 billion lost workdays each year. If you’re in the Springfield area and struggling with anxiety, depression or loneliness, check out our new Community Mental Health Center.
