The Headtorch Index gives an accurate assessment of how an organisation supports, promotes and prioritises mental health.
Ultimately it shows where an organisation is on the journey towards sustaining a world class mental health culture. It is used as an initial assessment tool and organisations are encouraged to revisit it over time to measure change.

- Transparency
- Development
- Support
- Engagement
The scoring of this ties in with the workplace Mental Health Journey developed by Headtorch to demonstrate progress.
