Too ill to work, too broke not to

Summary:

Mental health problems in the workplace have garnered a lot of political attention in recent years. However, the focus has been primarily on prevention and support for people with mental health problems while they are well enough to work. Even with the best support, however, sometimes people will need to take time out of work as a result of their mental health. This Money and Mental Health Institute report looks at the financial costs of taking time out of work, the impact this has on mental health, and how it influences our ability both to return to work and to take time off when we need to.
