Safer Business Network’s Post

Your work shouldn’t cost your health. Yet so many businesses and organisations don’t understand how to help their staff and teams maintain their mental health and wellbeing. Not because they don’t want to. They just don’t know where to begin. At SBN, we know that understanding mental health and well-being is important. Our Mental Health and Wellbeing Awareness eLearning course provides that necessary basic introduction for anyone with an interest in finding out more about mental health. It is a great introduction designed for all levels and includes modules on: • Introducing mental health • What mental health is and its personal risks • The stigma attached to it • Types of mental health • Diagnosis and recovery • The wellness action plan • Recovery, self-care, and mindfulness Our courses have been designed to raise awareness of mental health to help reduce the stigma surrounding it. As individuals, businesses, and organisations become better equipped at identifying how best to support those who may be struggling, they are helping to increase people’s quality of life. Our eLearning courses are available in virtual or in-house versions, so that your individual needs are met, whatever they are. Interested in learning more?

This three-hour session takes a deep dive into the roles of self-compassion and strength of vulnerability. It is important to remember that we have a past and future that influence how we interact in our work environments.

This training explores how porous, rigid, and healthy boundaries (or lack thereof) affect our relationships and performance in the work dynamic. It is difficult to sustain energy when the lack of, or excessive use of, boundaries demand attention. This full-day training provides ready-to-use tools to help build the skills needed to set and maintain boundaries.

Mental Health First Aiders have become a crucial part of many organisations. But how can we support those who are helping others every day and keep these individuals energised and inspired? Firstly, talk to them! Ask your #MHFA network what they want and need in order to fulfil their role and remain engaged in the vital work they do. And consider some of these ideas that were shared in an Everymind at Work webinar we recently attended: ✨ Run refresher sessions on subjects that you know are top of mind ✨ Invite in external speakers to provide fresh perspectives through lived experience ✨ Share personal stories and case studies in advance of wellbeing events ✨ Hold ‘troubleshooting’ workshops to help them tackle common challenges together ✨ Encourage them to get curious and do self-learning around key topics ✨ Freshen up your communication around things like boundary-setting ✨ Create self-care toolkits and templates for them to use ✨ Provide a few perks like free yoga or mindfulness sessions ✨ Encourage MHFAs to buddy up, support one another and share their reasons ‘why’ ✨ Freshen up their tools and resources with new factsheets and skills guides ✨ Invite in a new executive sponsor to provide a boost of energy and motivation How do you keep your MHFA network engaged and motivated? #Communication #InternalCommunication #Wellbeing #MentalHealth #SelfCare #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek ******************** Alive With Ideas is a full service communications agency fuelled by creative ideas. We’re on your side and in your corner.

"Learning how to suspend all your doing and shift over to a being mode, how to make time for yourself, how to slow down and nurture calmness and self-acceptance in yourself, learning to observe what your mind is up to from moment to moment, how to watch your thoughts and how to let go of them without getting caught up and driven by them, how to make room for new ways of seeing old problems and for perceiving the interconnectedness of things - these are some of the lessons of mindfulness."

Have you or would you like to Implement a robust Mental Health First Aider programme into your organisation? At Simpila Wellbeing we provide a complete Awareness, Education and Support programme to help design, develop and implement your MHFAider team positively. We have been delivering MHFA training now for over 6 years, facilitating hundreds of deliveries and working with thousands of amazing humans. When we deliver the Refresher training (due every 3 years) we find that the most common responses to the question - how have you found being a MHFAider® are: - Nobody comes to speak to me - My name is somewhere on the internet in our wellbeing pages - I don't have many conversations - People don't want to open up to me To me most of the challenges stem from a lack of awareness and engagement with the company before the 2 day training takes place - We need to move from reactive to proactive management of conversations. We strongly advise clients to host a 'What is MHFA?' session (30 minutes) to help build the foundations. We can then work with those who express a genuine interest in becoming a MHFAider® through a process of selection. Once the training is completed it is the 'What's next?' that is critically important. We have developed an ongoing programme of support for the MHFAiders®, providing them with insights, ongoing development and when the refreshers return they are already prepared and continuing on the journey. If you would like to know more about our 'Inclusive' MHFAider® programme from awareness ,education and support, feel free to get in touch: training@simpila.com #training #mentalhealth #mhfa #support

"World Mental Health Month celebrates awareness for the global community in an empathetic way, with a unifying voice, helping those affected to feel hopeful by empowering them to take action and to create lasting change." UN "We know how the effects of stress on the brain can impact us emotionally, psychologically, and physiologically. We know stress affects us because we can feel it. But, how many of us know about its specific and long-term effects on the brain? And what can learning about the impact of stress on the brain teach us about the impacts it will have on our personal and professional lives?"
