Meditation is a technique that has been proven to assist in the prevention of mental health breakdown. The effects of regular meditation are limitless, however fundamentally it is a proven way to increase resilience, emotional intelligence, and communication in the workplace.

Mental Health Initiative

There are ever-growing statistics for the decline of mental health in Australia. In 2017–18, 13% or 2.4 million Australians aged 18 and over experienced high or very high levels of psychological distress, a 12% increase from 2014–15 (11.7% or 2.1 million Australians) (ABS 2019b).

These numbers are on the increase, especially with changes to our current world. Working from home has not eliminated the progression of mental health fatigue, in fact, it has significantly contributed to it, with people feeling vulnerable and isolated. Whilst not all of the stress is from the workplace, the results of mental health fatigue usually play out in there due to the amount of time we spend working.
