The council has trained a number of Mental Health Champions.
Mental Health Champions have volunteered to take action to support colleagues and raise awareness that mental health is as important as physical health.
Responsibilities:
- Initiating or responding to conversations as a positive first step for example by asking someone how they are.
- Acknowledging we can all feel anxious, stressed or low and need help at different times.
- Signposting to support which is available.
- Promoting and raising awareness of mental health e.g. by displaying posters in your workplace.
A list of Mental Health Champions can be found on LINC.
