What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candour, more unashamed conversation

Mental Health

We all have mental health, just as we all have physical health, but often we don’t talk about it, or consider what can impact on it, until we face mental health problems either in ourselves, our friends and families, or the people we work with (clients, colleagues).

Yet being able to talk openly and confidently about mental health is often the first step we need to take to address these problems when they do arise.

In these interactive products we will explore what mental health is; how it links to resilience; explore how mental health problems show up in the workplace; consider the factors that can impact on our mental health (both positively and negatively) and, develop skills to have proactive conversations to address it in the workplace.

Embracing Mental Health and Resilience in the Workplace

We wanted to start an open and honest conversation about mental health at Southwark council, as part of a directorate wide commitment to supporting mental wellbeing and reducing the stigma around mental health and stress related issues at Southwark council. Employees have sought us out to tell us how much they appreciated and enjoyed the training and how they are using the practical techniques to manage work related stress.
