Supporting men’s mental health
In light of increasing rates of male suicide – and aligned with Suicide Prevention Day – the Compleat Mind Wellbeing team hosted a webinar with Tough to Talk, a charity focused on raising awareness and understanding of the male suicide crisis.
The session – which provided a no-nonsense discussion that aims to break down barriers and encourage open dialogue around this critical issue – was very well attended, and despite the sensitive subject, prompted strong engagement. We also produced an information pack with key support and contacts, information on risk factors and recognising the signs, and an interview with a member of the Compleat Mind Wellbeing team who bravely and openly shared their own experience with suicide.
We’re committed to supporting mental wellbeing across the business and will continue to listen to feedback from our colleagues in this area and incorporate it into our future events and plans.
We have a responsibility to our teams and to our colleagues to ensure that they’re supported in the workplace, to ensure that they always feel heard and that their wellbeing and mental health is a priority. We really wanted to highlight men’s mental health as an important topic to a wider audience across Compleat. Tough to Talk is an amazing charity that directly tackles men’s suicide, so we were keen to share their work and raise awareness of this issue.
