The Partnership for Workplace Mental Health is a program of the American Psychiatric Association Foundation, which works with businesses to ensure effective care for employees with mental illness and their families. The Partnership collaborates with employers to promote successful employer innovations and encourage more companies to take action. Mental illness and substance abuse cost employers an estimated $80 to $100 billion per year in indirect costs alone, and when employees receive effective treatment, businesses enjoy lower medical costs, increased productivity, lower absenteeism, and decreased disability costs. Lilly, Merck and AstraZeneca are supporters of the Partnership. Paragon Partnerships
