To mark Samaritans Awareness Day, we are fostering the spirit of the Samaritans by encouraging our colleagues to start conversations about Mental Health in what we have called 'Sip and Support' sessions. These discussions will provide an opportunity for our teams to open up, actively listen and offer their support for one another. We are even taking Sip and Support online with a virtual drop-in session for colleagues to come together from across the business and have these conversations over Teams, supported by our Mental Health First Aiders. It's resources like this that are so important to our staff and also the families in which we serve so that we can enter into those conversations with the right skills and understanding. #SamaritansAwarenessDay #MentalHealthFirstAiders #SupportingEachother #Learning&Development #MentalHealthMatters #EmployeeWellbeing #WellnessWednesday

4moGreat idea, during lockdown my brothers team held 'virtual offices' - an 'Open Teams', whereby there was no pressure to have the camera on or off, just an opportunity to chat or ask questions, have a laugh ...as if you were actually sat in the same room. Simple, but very effective way to keep in touch with your work mates 😍
