Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a growing mental health crisis in the UK with one in four adults experiencing mental illness each year.
Though talking about mental health has become much more common, there can still be a real stigma when it comes to the workplace.
As a result, many employees don’t speak up until they’re really struggling to cope. What measures do you have in place to recognise the warning signs and respond in a crisis?
Create a positive and supportive culture
Embedding Mental Health First Aid training into your organisation encourages people to talk more freely about mental health, promoting early intervention which enables recovery, reducing stigma and creating a positive culture.
Having a qualified Mental Health First Aider in the workplace provides a point of contact for an employee who is experiencing a mental health issue or emotional distress. This interaction could range from having an initial conversation through to supporting the individual to get appropriate help in a crisis. Mental Health First Aiders can spot the signs of mental ill health and are valuable in providing early support for someone who may be developing a mental health issue.
