This week I'm talking you about Raising Mental Health Awareness. It's World Mental Health Day On October 10th 2020 and then closely followed by Stress Awareness Week for the first week of November. I'm sharing ideas of things you can do yourself or in the workplace / with colleagues to take the first steps to improving mental health. There’s some ideas if your HR or a manager I'm also talking a little about how you can support leader performance too. I share information on what I'm doing but also give you insights to what other companies are providing so that you don't have to dig around for ideas. Mind are focussing this year on the theme of 'do one thing' so I share ideas about what these simple things can be to get you started in improving mental health. Some quotes from this episode are: "Don't talk about the war, worries and women's problems is a stigma from long ago that we're still having deal with" "If you’re struggling to ask to for help, think about how YOU respond when someone asks you for help" "Don’t just listen to what they say, listen to HOW they say it" I share some information about using some elements of 'restorative practice' to do wellbeing check-ins with your team. If you're planning on getting someone to share their mental health journey then you can email me so that 'doom and gloom' chats can be avoided. I also share why it's good for managers and leaders to share their journey or situation and how you can boost the mood of your employees by sending thank you cards, gifts or other things. Of course, if you want a speaker or wellbeing trainer to deliver a something then book a call with me.
