During #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek it's significant, now more than ever, to remember that mental health first aid is just as important as physical first aid, and that people should speak out when they need support. That's why, at Connect Health, we’ve invested in training over 20 colleagues to become Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA) through MHFA England. Our network of MHFAs compliment the range of other tools we have in place through our 'Boost' healthy workplace programme, which supports the mental health and wellbeing of our wonderful colleagues. Mental Health First Aiders are trained volunteers who act as a first point of contact for anyone who is experiencing a mental health issue or emotional distress, of a work-related or personal nature. These interactions can range from having an initial conversation, to supporting and signposting individuals to get appropriate support. Becky Robson, Chief People Officer, shares: "Mental Health First Aiders in the workplace serve as compassionate guides, fostering a supportive environment where individuals feel heard and valued. Our investment in our network of MHFAs is an essential step towards a healthier, more resilient workforce as we drive forward our People Centred approach."
