Mental health problems appear to be on the rise, according to a survey from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). HR professionals are facing challenges when it comes to employees reporting mental-health problems, said Ruben Rodney, and sometimes recognizing poor mental health is easier said than done.

MaxPeople and Rodney Employment Law were proud to take part in a Second Harvest Fundraiser.
