Simarco Launch Mind Matters
Last month, Simarco were proud to announce our employee mental health forum, named “Simarco Mind Matters”, through which we aim to show our colleagues that we are listening and that we care.
We started by acknowledging that we could do more to assist our colleagues with their mental well being, and as a result we immediately expanded our Mental Health First Aider programme to try and build more support into our workplaces.
The forum was launched to coincide with October’s Mental Health Day, and to mark the occasion some fantastic resources were distributed company wide. All employees were encouraged to take a break and spend some time understanding what they could do to boost their own mental health and what support is available, internally and externally.
Mental health is a broad topic, which is estimated to impact one in four people in the UK every year. With society facing more than its fair share of challenges right now, the need to support our neighbours, family, friends and colleagues is as critical as ever.
Mental health can impact every one of us, so let’s make it a priority for all.
