It’s World Mental Health Day today!
This year, the World Health Organisation is uniting with partners to highlight the vital connection between mental health and work. Unhealthy conditions including stigma, discrimination, and exposure to risks like harassment and other poor working conditions, can pose significant risks, affecting mental health, overall quality of life and consequently participation or productivity at work.
On this episode of Morning Shot, Hannah Heng, Psychologist, Sengkang General Hospital shares her insights on the challenges behind creating better awareness of mental health and changing stigmas.
