Episode Details

West Lothian Council lost 81,000 workdays last year—mostly due to stress and anxiety—with education and operational services hit hardest. Nearly 70% of education absences and over 80% of operational ones were long-term. Personal stress led the charge, accounting for 21,000 days off. In response, the council rolled out a counseling line in December, receiving 133 calls since January—60% mental health-related. Though overall absences dipped slightly, stress remains the top culprit, prompting targeted support and early intervention efforts.
