Your workplace first aid kit isn't just for physical problems - mental health first aid is also important, and needs to take a holistic approach.

Important update regarding Mental Health in the workplace! I’m delighted that last week the #HSE made a significant update to their Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 that concerned #MentalHealth in the workplace. This update includes an emphasis on employers’ responsibilities to take account of employees’ mental health in their first-aid needs assessment. This is such a positive step in the right direction for mental health support in the workplace. I feel passionately that as employers we should treat employees’ mental health with the same level of care as we would their physical health. This update emphasized the importance of having first aiders within organisations that are trained in mental health and wellbeing, as well as physical health (i.e., emergency first aid). I’m proud to be a Mental Wellbeing First Aider after completing a course with High Performance Consultancy at the end of 2022. It was such an insightful training and I walked away feeling a lot more confident in addressing mental health concerns and offering support to employees within my business.

Today is National Suicide Prevention Day 🎗️ This is a day to spread love, support and hope to people out their struggling with their mental health and for organisations and communities around the world to come together to spread awareness about suicide prevention. The relationship between mental health and work is intricate and can significantly impact an individual's overall well-being. Detecting mental health issues early in the workplace is crucial. Occupational Health professionals can recognise signs of distress and provide employees with the resources and support they need. We think it’s important for people to work together to help employees access the resources they need to improve their mental health. This is why we have partnered ourselves with other companies who have similar goals and aspirations. 💪❤️ Alcumus SafeWorkforce is a company, that recognises the value of maintaining excellent mental health and striking an acceptable work-life balance.

“Mental Health First Aiders have been a positive development in raising awareness of the importance of employee mental health and making it easier for staff to have a first conversation, and an early conversation, about any concerns, and to be signposted to advice, resources and professional support. But, crucially, MHFAs have only been equipped with the training to provide that initial signposting and nothing more.” (Karl Bennett, HR magazine). 🙋🏻♀️ Do you have MHFAs in your organisation? ⛑️Do you provide them with professional psychological support to ensure their safety at work? ⚓️ Creating psychological safety isn’t just about having open conversations and giving people a voice. It’s creating a safe environment where employees feel supported with the emotional load of working with human beings. ®️ As a registered Psychotherapist and mental health professional in Jersey I facilitate clinical support and supervision sessions for MHFAs. Professional Psychological Support in the workplace. On island. In person. “Working in partnership, employers and mental health professionals can provide an accessible, safe and supportive framework of services for their people. We need to ensure that this kind of comprehensive, planned and strategic approach is not replaced by – or even undermined by – a well-intentioned but limited single initiative.” (HRmagazine.co.uk) Curious to learn more?
