Did you know…
- 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem of some kind each year in England.
- 15% of people experience mental health problems in the workplace.
- 1 in 15 people in the UK are affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) – something to be particularly mindful of as we enter the Autumn/Winter period.
We thought we would share some useful resources to help you support any colleagues who may be experiencing poor mental health:
- The CIPD have created a useful guide – ‘Supporting mental health at work: Guide for People Managers’ – Supporting mental health at work: Guide for people managers (cipd.co.uk)
- Zero Suicide Alliance have created free online training that will give you the skills you need to help someone who is struggling with suicidal thoughts. It’s only 20 minutes long, give it a go – Learn to Save a Life | Shining a Light on Suicide
Let’s work together to make mental health and wellbeing for all a global priority
