Awareness into Action

Taking action to address mental health at the organisational level

Took place on Monday, 24 January 

Please see below for recording and resources. 

Overview

This theme will discuss actions such as fully embedding policies and procedures to improve awareness and send the clearest message that mental health is a priority for your organisation.

An April 2021 survey confirmed that nearly half (46%) of organisations still lack a formal strategy or approach to mental health and wellbeing. Given the amount of time most people spend in a work or educational setting, it is essential that organisations consider what support they can offer to learners and employees and how. It is time to translate mental health awareness into action. HSE have moved to develop guidance and information to help the modern and proactive business gain a better understanding as well as commit to meaningful action.

This working webinar will be discussing the importance of building mental health into governance structures, commitment at the top including accountability at senior and board level and gaining employee experience.
