International: WHO mental health in the workplace guide
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has issued an information sheet on mental health in the workplace. In a list of 'good interventions', it highlights the importance of workforce participation, noting the necessity for "involving employees in decision-making, conveying a feeling of control and participation; organisational practices that support a healthy work-life balance." The WHO guide also cites the World Economic Forum's three-pronged approach to interventions, including: "Protect mental health by reducing work–related risk factors." A recent WHO-led study estimated that depression and anxiety disorders cost the global economy US$1 trillion (£0.76 trillion) each year in lost productivity.

WHO Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP)
(também disponível em espanmhol e francês)
Mental, neurological, and substance use disorders are common in all regions of the world, affecting every community and age group across all income countries. While 14% of the global burden of disease is attributed to these disorders, most of the people affected - 75% in many low-income countries - do not have access to the treatment they need.
The WHO Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) aims at scaling up services for mental, neurological and substance use disorders for countries especially with low- and middle-income. The programme asserts that with proper care, psychosocial assistance and medication, tens of millions could be treated for depression, schizophrenia, and epilepsy, prevented from suicide and begin to lead normal lives– even where resources are scarce.
mhGAP Forum, 9 – 10 October 2017, WHO, Geneva

The Forum will also discuss specific commitments from partners towards implementing the Action Plan. There will also be time available for informal networking
