Business Costs:

NHS Costs:
A portion of the overall cost is directly borne by the NHS, with estimates suggesting a significant financial burden.
Broader Social Costs:
Beyond the financial impact, poor mental health also has a broader impact on society, affecting individuals, their families, and communities.
West Midlands Focus:
The WMCA, which includes Birmingham, experiences a particularly high economic burden due to mental ill health, with estimates of over £12 billion per year.
Importance of Workplace Support:
Businesses can play a crucial role in supporting employee mental health, potentially reducing workplace costs and improving productivity.
