Today is #TimeToTalk day, we need to start taking positive steps to look after our #mentalhealth
#TimeToTalk day is about sparking up a conversation with those around you. They may seem fine, but a quick a chat could really help them.
Creating a supportive space where mental health is explored and accepted as a regular topic of conversation is crucial to our mental health.
Running since 2014, this initiative is driven by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, and supported by the Co-op. There's a great range of resources that you can access here: https://timetotalkday.co.uk/tips-to-talk/
At Pickerings our Employee Assistance Programme covers various health and well being topics, but also perhaps more importantly a 24/7 telephone counselling service.
Employees can also talk to Amanda Stonier, who is our qualified Mental Health First Aider.
