Creating Hope Through Action: Mental Health in the Workplace II

A huge thank you to Hull and East Yorkshire Mind and Hull College for providing this free event during Humber Business Week.

The session saw over 30 people of all ages from different sectors learn more from Yvonne Sharp of HEY Mind about mental health, what it can look like, and how others can help. We learned more about the differences between anxiety and depression, and what forms these illnesses can take. We were encouraged to discuss our knowledge of mental health conditions and share how we have helped others in the past.

Everyone left with a little bit more knowledge about mental health and a bit more confidence in providing support for those with mental health issues.

Did you know - around 1 in 6 people in the workplace right now are experiencing mental health issues? That's a lot of people that could benefit from extra support. Congratulations to all those that came along and took part. Wear your new badges with pride!
