About us
Nearly half of all workers will suffer a mental health condition during their working lives. But employers deal with mental health hazards in a reactive, rather than a proactive way. We don’t wait until a worker is physically injured before we remove a physical hazard – and mental health hazards shouldn’t be different. HeadFirst aims to reduce mental health hazards in the workplace before they can harm workers.
