Mental Health
First Aiders
“I’ve seen the impact that poor Mental Health has had on individuals, whether friends, colleagues, or clients, and it is often heart-breaking to see. The role of MHFA isn’t a magic wand, and never pretends to have all the answers, but I saw it as a way of gaining extra tools to improve the way in which I could help others. With the world in which we work, there are constant deadlines and although the team does an excellent job in hitting these deadlines consistently, it can be a high-pressured environment. I thought that being a MHFA would help reduce this pressure for others – it has.”
Mental Health First Aiders
We have trained Mental Health First Aiders across the business who provide a confidential, supportive first point of contact for colleagues who may be struggling. This reflects our commitment to wellbeing, early support and creating a workplace where mental health is taken seriously and conversations are encouraged.
