Mental Health First Aiders

We know that 1 in 4 people will encounter a mental health difficulty at some point, and this will affect all aspects of our lives, including work.

As we spend so much of our time at work, we must have people in our workplace whom we feel comfortable talking to about our wellbeing.

Winslow’s Mental Health Champions drive awareness of mental health within the workplace and are the point of contact between the employee and the employer regarding mental health issues.

They are trained to offer help and support to colleagues and to promote mental health awareness.

Sometimes it is easier to talk to an understanding peer about stressful or traumatic experiences than to a professional and this can be an invaluable first step to seeking expert psychological help at a later stage if needed.

For a person experiencing a mental health problem, having an empathetic listener can be calming and reassuring – even healing.

Below is a list of Mental Health First Aiders across the Winslow Group. When on-site, they are easily identifiable by their unique hard hat stickers.
