Government measures for better mental health at work

Sim says at least 10,000 workers nationwide will be trained as mental health first aiders.

CONCERTED efforts are in place to ensure better mental health management at the workplace in line with the 2020-2025 National Strategic Plan for Mental Health.

Human Resource Minister Steven Sim says ongoing efforts include strengthening mental health resources – as listed in the national strategic plan – to train 10,000 mental health first aiders nationwide for free at the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH); this is a part of a campaign to ensure better mental health management at the workplace.
