“A free, evidence-informed resource developed by Mental Health Ireland to support employers and workplace leaders in addressing mental health challenges at work. Developed through a coproduction process with experts and individuals with lived experience, this framework encourages the creation of supportive, stigma-free, and inclusive environments where all staff can thrive.
The framework outlines the legal and ethical responsibilities of employers in Ireland, including psychosocial risk management and compliance with employment equality laws. It provides actionable steps for developing tailored mental health policies—from stakeholder engagement and accessibility considerations to implementation and review.
Workplaces using this framework can expect improved communication, increased productivity, and better support for staff navigating mental health challenges. It promotes a proactive, whole-organisational approach to mental health, with an emphasis on compassion, collaboration, and respect.
Especially relevant for the workforce in Cavan and Monaghan, Wellness Works empowers local employers to create safe, sustainable work cultures that contribute positively to community mental wellbeing.”
