In the challenging climate we all now find ourselves mental health and wellbeing of our colleagues, employees, family and friends has never been so important as we all face this new norm, juggling different work-life-balances, home schooling, financial challenges, isolation along with many other factors that may be a result of the pandemic.
It is World Mental Health Day this Saturday and if you are looking for information or materials to support any initiaves that you are planning MIND have free resources that you can access.
MIND are running a campaign asking us all to #DoOneThing and resources can be accessed here https://www.mind.org.uk/get-involved/world-mental-health-day-2020.

Thanks for sharing Aileen Uwins this is so important at anytime but none more so than right now.
In lockdown we hosted a series of zoom support sessions with our staff to check in on everyone. We often used a number scale to enquire how everyone was without asking directly e.g. 10 fantastic day on top of the world down to 1, dont ask.......
One similar option I noticed recently was which Mr/Miss Men are you today? Mr Grumpy, Little miss Sunshine ect, light hearted but also showing we are always thinkning about one another.
Thank you for sharing this Aileen, I had no idea and you're right, this year its more important than ever to raise awareness. And to anyone reading - how are you?!
Hi Jessie, thank you all good hear and adapted to the new working norm!!
Take care,
Aileen
