I had to google this "mental health first aid" concept. I was amused to discover that it's focused on increased productivity, reducing employee turnover, reducing leaves of absence... not much about the employee who is struggling... I wonder how many people dare to speak about their mental issues when it's obvious the HR will hear you're struggling - obviously you're not going to get a promotion implying more responsibilities since you cannot handle those you already have, and you might find yourself unemployed rather soon.

Of course not, its another way for business to feel good about itself and some despicable niche hunter to make a dishonest buck.
Never about addressing the root cause.
That's exactly what I was worried about! And it was one of the straws that broke me.
