It’s Mental Health Awareness Week.

This year’s theme is Action, as we look to encourage shifting the focus from just talking about mental health, to making the required steps to support those who are affected by it.

Mental health affects everyone differently, so it’s important for employers to stay connected to their people, recognise the signs, and take meaningful action to support them. When employees feel genuinely supported, they’re more likely to be happier, healthier and more engaged, benefiting both people and the business.

This week is about raising awareness and reducing the stigma around mental health during and after pregnancy.

Around one in five women are affected, so it’s important for employers to understand the support their people may need.
