Supporting the mental health of staff at work
In this podcast, we discuss how we can support the mental health of staff at work. We touch upon barriers to staff accessing wellbeing support, such as stigma and self-shame about reaching out for help. We also discuss the role and value of staff networks in enabling staff to feel seen and heard and the importance of implementing wellbeing conversations and reasonable adjustments in the workplace.
Bridging the gap: Spirituality & Wellbeing
In this podcast we discuss the impact of spirituality on our wellbeing and the role that spirituality plays in staff members seeking support that may not be spiritually guided. We also discuss how we can best support our colleagues for who spirituality or faith is important.
Speaking to staff with lived experience
In this podcast we discuss the value of staff bringing lived experience into the workplace and how we can get staff talking about this. We also discuss the challenges affecting staff with emotional and psychological needs in the workplace as well as what makes it easier or harder for staff to access mental health and wellbeing support.
Talking about Men's Mental Health
In this podcast, we discuss the topic of men’s mental health with Simon from Andy's Man Club, a men's suicide prevention charity offering free, peer-to-peer support groups. We discuss the benefits of attending support groups for men such as having a dedicated, safe, non-judgemental space to open up conversations about mental health and share experiences. We also touch upon the barriers and challenges men can face when speaking about mental health and accessing support and think about how men can be better supported to start these conversations.
