How people with mental health conditions enrich the work environment.
People with mental health conditions who are returning to employment or even accessing it for the first time can often make exceptional contributions to the workplace. An art tutor who understands mental illness from first-hand experience will apply non-discriminatory and more inclusive practice alongside his or her skills.
Identifying a suppressed aspiration as the cause of stress at work can lead to formidable achievement when previously hidden dreams are pursued and developed in the appropriate mainstream setting. This too creates employment or self-employment alongside increased cashflow and profits for service providers who are helping dreams to become reality.

How businesses profit from mental health
How businesses profits from mental health.
Businesses and services are developing the understanding that informed practice around mental health benefits both service delivery and profits. Staff are happier and more productive when they know that their employers' practices and procedures do not stigmatize or discriminate against illness or experience.
Days lost to absenteeism, sickness or unproductive presenteeism decrease when employees are not anxious about being dismissed should they choose to disclose a mental health condition. The attrition of unexplained job resignations or sudden departures decreases when taboos around mental health are dismantled by enlightened policies and staff trainings.
Business and services profit from individuals who are being signposted to mainstream as part of their recovery plans. Mainstream social inclusion takes place in any outlet where a recovering individual feels he or she can prioritise a personal goal. Venues such as education and training centres, sports facilities, colleges, recording studios, voluntary organisations and arts groups are benefiting substantially and financially from motivated people accessing mainstream. Where individuals are not paying all the costs themselves, there may well be contributions from schemes such as direct payments or from built-in concessions and offers. The increased business generated by mainstream social inclusion is considerable.
