Covid-19 is a stressful time for many, so Mental Health Awareness Week was an opportunity for all of us to raise awareness of mental health problems and fight social stigmatization, said Christeyns, who recently aimed to be a little kind and to spread understanding across the workforce week.
This year's theme was friendliness and it was an opportunity for organizations of all types to broaden the broader conversation on social media, on TV, and elsewhere. Emphasize the importance of mental health in their organizations with their employees and underpin this commitment with a range of activities to support learning on the subject.
Christeyns strongly believes that it is part of a company's responsibility to take a proactive, preventive approach to employee mental illness and fully supports the Week of Awareness.
Scott Wilson, director of the company's Mental Health Awareness program, said: “Our mental health first aid team engages and updates employees regularly on this important and sensitive topic. During the current coronavirus pandemic, contact was even more important. Every week since the block began, we have distributed updates to all employees, vacation days, homeworkers, and key workers on various mental health issues. "
The Christeyns management team also sends blogs weekly and calls the most vulnerable. Scott is pleased to report that the feedback from employees who have found invaluable support to help Covid-19 deal with the home and work situation has been very positive.
Mental Health Awareness Week was an ideal opportunity for everyone to get involved and consider how activities can be used across the company or in specific teams to provide employees with an opportunity to learn about and engage with the topic To start talking about how the current situation could affect them.
