Mental Health and Wellbeing.
We know that good mental health starts early, but the global pandemic brought a sharp rise in poor mental health across children, young people, and the workforce. For many of us, it also revealed what’s really needed for healthier workplaces — spaces where people feel supported, safe, and able to thrive.
The problem.
Today’s global climate — from financial pressures and job insecurity to social and political unrest — continues to affect how people feel and work day to day. That’s why employers who actively support mental health are not just “doing good,” they’re building stronger, more resilient teams. By making well-being part of everyday working life, businesses can create environments where people feel valued, engaged, and motivated to do their best work.
Awareness, Understanding, and Guidance.
Safeguarding mental health requires more than recognising individual struggles — it demands understanding how broader systems of oppression and power imbalances affect well-being. Racism, sexism, ableism, classism, homophobia, and other inequities directly contribute to stress, burnout, and exclusion, and they often surface in workplace cultures.
Leadership teams have a responsibility to address these systemic factors by creating safe spaces, challenging oppressive norms, and ensuring equity and inclusion are threaded through organisational practices. Doing so not only strengthens individuals’ mental health, but also builds cultures of trust, compassion, and accountability.
Our workshops cover, but are not limited to:
The intersections of mental health (race, gender, class, disability, and lived experience)
How to effectively communicate what good mental health looks like
Attachment styles (i.e., you and your workplace)
Understanding the effects of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences)
The impact of structural inequities and oppression on mental health
Cultivating healthy workplace mental health practices
Suicide awareness and response
Recognising signs of ill mental health and intervening safely
