Did you know that each year approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health condition and at least 1 in 6 employees experience common #MentalHealth problems in the workplace?🤔 Back in February, a group of our managers in the North West completed their ‘L3 Supervising First Aid for Mental Health’ qualification. It was an emotional two days but staff said they learnt a lot about Mental Health and it really made them think about their own #wellbeing. This qualification provides Managers with the knowledge to recognise a wide range of mental health conditions, and how to start a supportive conversation with staff. There was a great deal of talk around Mental Wellbeing, and also about the importance of looking after yourself, as well as the importance of having a #positive mental health culture in the workplace. At Kingsley Healthcare we truly feel in the importance of #supporting all our staff and residents in all aspects of their wellbeing, and this great NUCO qualification is just one piece of that. We're running more sessions for our Management team across the business over the coming months – and we can’t wait!⭐ #CareHomes #CareHomesUK #KingsleyHealthcare

Business Psychologist | Workplace Wellbeing Specialist | Partner Development, Senior Manager @ Everymind at Work
"2 people working in construction in the UK die by suicide every working day, amounting to over 700 lives lost each year." This has to change. Yesterday's Everymind at Work webinar hosted by Paul McGregor, with Kelly Osborne and Kerry Barkworth from Wates Group was so empowering. The chat box was on fire with fellow wellbeing/HR leads in the industry sharing initiatives and approaches that have had the biggest impact on employee wellbeing. What stood out to me was the number of organisations who have implemented MHFAiders but done nothing since. As Kelly explained, for a MHFA network to be successful, it HAS to be run alongside a strategy that builds awareness, reduces stigma, and fosters a culture of support. It's not just about ticking a box; it's about creating meaningful change in how we approach mental health in the workplace. Let's honour those we've lost by taking meaningful action. Together, we can create environments where mental health is prioritised, where support is readily available, and where no one feels alone in their struggles. It's time to turn awareness into action and save lives. I'll pop the replay link in the comments in case you missed the webinar and think it will be useful for your organisation 💙 #employeesafety #wellbeingsupport #MHFA

In a recent survey by the National Association of Counties (NACo), county leaders listed mental health and substance use as crisis-level concerns for their communities. Gallup research showed that 1 in 5 U.S. workers rate their mental health as fair or poor, resulting in four times more unplanned absences. When employees feel that their employers care about their overall wellbeing, they are three times more likely to be engaged at work. Join U.S. county leaders and staff from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing and NACo for an engaging conversation about the state of county employees’ mental health. This webinar will delve into crucial strategies and initiatives that can transform workplace cultures and benefit entire communities.
