🚨 According to a recent report by the Resolution Foundation, young people in their early 20s are more likely to be out of work due to ill-health compared to those in their early 40s.
The report highlights a concerning rise in mental health conditions among young adults, with 34% of 18-24-year-olds experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder in 2021-22, up from 24% in 2000. Additionally, over half a million young adults in this age group were prescribed antidepressants during the same period.
It's crucial for organisations to create a supportive environment where employees feel comfortable discussing their health. By fostering open conversations about mental health, employers can help address the growing crisis and support the well-being of their workforce.
