Mental Health First Aiders
Alongside our wellbeing network, we have over 100 trained Mental Health First Aiders ready to support our colleagues. This year we have recruited 30 more Mental Health First Aiders to extend our support even further and continue highlighting the importance of talking about mental health."Since completing my training as a mental health first aider in December 2018, I've engaged in many open and sincere conversations about mental health, offering support to those in need. I am very proud to be part of a company that offers this level of care and prioritizes the well-being of its employees."
