Something I myself tackle! Talk to your colleagues,friends and family! Speak up and let’s tackle mental health together. 👊💙🩵💙
Today is World Mental Health Day🌎
You’ll see a lot of posts about it today but please don’t let it be a one day conversation.
Mental health is something we all deal with, and we are all impacted in some way. 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem of some kind each year in England, according to Mind.
Have the “How are you? Are you sure?” conversation every week, not just today.
Even though many of us will experience stress, depression or anxiety at some point in our lives, we recognise there are industry-specific barriers and stigma surrounding mental health that can prevent people from seeking support when they need it.
That’s why the Association is a proud supporter and partner of Mates in Mind. As a mental health charity with experience in providing support in specific kinds of workplaces, Mates in Mind is helping us to assess where we are on our mental wellbeing journey and to develop a tailored plan to address any gaps.
