As an organisation, we at Assurity Consulting take this very seriously, and have a fully active team of four Mental Health First Aiders. The team are available as a point of contact for any one of our employees, who may be struggling and needs to be signposted to get the right support they need.
With training provided for our management team we are supporting the development of a positive culture, where discussions around mental health are open and supported, something I am truly proud of and will continue to advocate.
Time to Talk Day is an annual awareness day held at the beginning of February championed by the charity 'Mind', "It’s a day for us all to start a conversation about mental health. Talking about mental health isn't easy. But a conversation has the power to change lives."
The power of conversation is key, so take the time today to ‘reach out’ or ‘check in’ with colleagues and consider your own policy and processes to see how you can help to lead in positive change.
