Mental Health Awareness Week at Simarco International Ltd

Hi, I’m Kate, and I work as a HR Administrator here Simarco International Ltd. Alongside my role, I also provide support for our mental health group, Mind Matters.

At Simarco International Ltd, we truly believe in the importance of supporting mental health, which is why having a mental health support group is so essential. We spend a large chunk of our time at work, and often, the workplace can feel overwhelming. Having a strong support network at work is vital for creating an environment where everyone feels supported and heard.

As part of our Mind Matters group, I help organise and promote events that raise awareness and provide support. Some of the fantastic activities we run include fundraising events like Wear it Green Day, and we’re lucky to have a dedicated team of Mental Health First Aiders who are always available to lend an ear or provide guidance.

For Mental Health Awareness Week, we’ve got lots of exciting events lined up, like Wear it Green Day and we’re encouraging teams to come together for team-building activities such as walks and coffee lunches. It’s a great way for everyone to connect and take care of their mental well-being!

We also offer several mental health resources, including our EAP support lines, the support from our Mental Health First Aiders, and external organisations like Mind and Samaritans

It’s so important that we continue to break the stigma around mental health and make sure everyone knows there’s support available whenever they need it. Let’s keep the conversation going because we’re all in this together.
