Workplace Lunch and Learns
Introduce the topic of mental health in your workplace with our quick sessions
Workplace Lunch and Learns
Duration:
1 hour
Aims:
These sessions are designed for any organisation that wants to gain an insight into Mind in Somerset and promote awareness of mental health. The talk covers the services we provide, an understanding of what mental health is and how to start a conversation around this topic.
Outcomes:
Due to the short nature of the session, this course acts as an introduction to subjects which can be explored in more depth in the future.
Subjects include:
- Mental health problems and the scale of these throughout the UK
- How to live well and look after your personal wellbeing
- Mental health and wellbeing in the workplace and what you can do to influence this
- Resources to access if you or others you know are suffering
- How to fundraise for us
