A recent report published by the Boston Consulting Group has found that five million young professionals in Canada are in need of mental health support.
five million young professionals in Canada are in need of mental health support“There's still a lot of stigma in discussing mental health. Young people especially, are feeling discouraged from presenting the issues that they're facing right now,” Genevieve Bonin, co-author of the report and managing director and partner at BCG told CTVNews.ca.
As for the future of the workforce and the livelihood of 18 to 24 year olds, 40 per cent of the demographic is reportedly at a “breaking point” for their mental health. What’s more, according to the study findings, those who reported mental health struggles will experience some form of mental illness by age 40.
From an economic perspective, it is crucial that Canadian businesses invest in the mental health of their employees in order to support the health of the economy and continue to grow businesses, according to the study.
