MHFA England®

A new month can be a great opportunity to take a moment and reflect on your own mental health. Take some time at the end of the month to check in on your own mental health and the wellbeing of those around you 🧠💚 Our My Whole Self MOT is here to help 👉 https://brnw.ch/21wPWwy #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCare #MyWholeSelf (Image description: The My Whole Self MOT has six simple steps you can take to look after your whole self: 1. How's my mental health today? 2. My Stress Container 3. My mental health journey 4. Looking after my wellbeing 5. How's my thinking today? 6. What can I do to look after my whole self?)

Mental health skills need refreshing too. You wouldn’t let someone’s physical first aid skills expire. Mental Health First Aid is no different. We recommend MHFAiders® refresh their knowledge, awareness, and skills every three years to stay confident, up to date, and ready to offer support when it matters most. Refresher training is just four hours – a small investment for peace of mind and lasting impact. 👉 Learn more about the MHFA Refresher: https://brnw.ch/21wVjZQ (Image description: Two colleagues are chatting.

💼 How do we tackle presenteeism in the workplace? We are talking more about mental health than ever, but too many people still feel they cannot take time off when they need it. Instead, they show up unwell, in person or online. This is presenteeism, and it is costing individuals and organisations dearly. 📉 The cost to UK employers has risen by £30 billion since 2018 💬 84 percent of HR leads have seen it increase in remote workers 🚩 It is a clear sign of workplace cultures lacking psychological safety At MHFA England, we believe mental health should come before presenteeism. Our latest blog explores: The causes and consequences of presenteeism, practical ways employers can address it, and how training managers to support mental health makes all the difference 📖 Read the full blog: https://brnw.ch/21wTxpX #MentalHealth #Presenteeism #WorkplaceWellbeing #PsychologicalSafety #PeopleFirst #Leadership #MHFA #Productivity (Image description: A blurred crowd of people walking in different directions with the text "How do we tackle presenteeism in the workplace?" overlaid)
