Feature 5: Mental health first aider network
Wellbeing It is very important for us to ensure and provide for the psychological safety of our colleagues – we want to always be available when our colleagues reach out for help and be able to provide support quickly and appropriately. To create this safe environment, we have introduced the First Aider Network and provide additional support in partnership with external parties. We have invested in accredited training, following the guidelines set by Mental Health First Aid England to establish our ‘Mental Health First Aider Network’ which is available to all colleagues. We know that good quality mental health support can genuinely make a positive difference to colleagues’ wellbeing. Our trained Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAs) are located across our sites and are available to provide support to any colleague who may experiencing poor mental health or emotional distress. External Support
Our Mental Health First Aiders can: • Act as a point of contact to reassure colleagues in emotional distress or experiencing poor mental health • Listen non-judgementally and hold supportive conversations • Signpost colleagues to professional help • Identify the signs and symptoms for a range of mental health conditions • Use a five-step action plan to assist someone experiencing a mental health issue Our Mental Health First Aiders are advocates of positive mental health in the workplace and will be working hard to promote greater awareness of mental health in the workplace and reducing stigma.
