Mental Health Awareness Week
Led by the Mental Health Foundation, this week is Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW) which aims to encourage conversation and reduce stigma around mental health. This year’s theme is ‘community’ and that includes you, the fantastic RECOUP community. It is never too late to get involved and there are a range of resources available through the MHF website. https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/our-work/public-engagement/mental-health-awareness-week/resources
A number of staff have completed the mental health awareness training over the past year which is great, and this shouldn’t be just about going through the motions as an employer or a manager with people responsibilities, but because its genuinely important for everyone. There are lots of resources out there covering a whole range of wellbeing and mental health topics. Westfield Health have created a webpage with some great resources, factsheets and toolkits so you might also find something in there that is relevant to you.
