FED:Managers need help managing mental illness

Charity Sane Australia says a national survey paints an unsatisfactory picture on how
mental illness is managed in the workplace.

The survey reveals 95 per cent of the 520 respondents think employers and managers
need education on mental illness and how to manage its effects in the workplace.

More than 60 per cent say their mental illness hasn't been a barrier when finding a
job, but the majority say no support's been provided to them once they're in the workplace.
