Care at work: Nurturing caregiver mental health in the workplace


Businesses have a role to play in supporting systems and creating communities that promote caregiver mental health and well-being, with direct and indirect impacts on child and adolescent mental health at the center. They also have a vital role to play in recognizing the importance of addressing caregiver mental health in implementing family-friendly policies and other good business practices that support caregivers in balancing their work and caregiving responsibilities.

This guide is the first instalment in a series of three, focusing on workplace practices in promoting caregiver mental health and its impact on child and youth well-being. The second guide will explore the impact of businesses through their products and services on mental health, while the third will emphasize the influence of businesses on communities and their mental health.
