Today is World Mental Health Day!

The World Health Organisation recognises World Mental Health Day on 10th October each year and this year’s theme is ‘Mental health is a universal right’.

Small and growing businesses can contribute to this goal. There are many ways to promote mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. Some things we value doing at 2SB to support mental health and wellbeing are:

•    Fostering a supportive environment where colleagues can speak openly about mental health
•    Offering the team autonomy in their role
•    Planning work with the team in mind
•    Understanding the causes of workplace stress
•    Having team away days and team meals
•    Being proactive – we send weekly wellbeing emails to the team with tips, resources and signposting to support wellbeing
•    Having mental health first aiders in the team
