Mental Health Traffic Light Toolkit

Mental Health Traffic Light System (Doc, 8MB)

Mental health issues impact one in six employees annually and can significantly affect individuals' overall well-being. At NWSSP, we are committed to ensuring our colleagues are aware of the resources available to them for support. We hold the belief that mental health challenges deserve the same level of care and consideration as physical health issues, and we recognize that individuals living and working with mental health concerns can indeed flourish.

We understand this can be easier said than done, and that reaching out within a working environment can be difficult and uncomfortable for many, with this in mind we are eager to share NWSSP’s Mental Health Traffic Light Toolkit.

The Toolkit has been designed to allow staff the opportunity to self asses their situation and follow the appropriate paths to find the support, guidance, tips, and contacts they may need. There are several options within each section, you have the choice to decide which one suits you best depending on your circumstances.

We hope you will find this toolkit useful; you will be able to reach out and find comfortable, understanding supportive networks where employees can openly discuss their mental wellbeing in a non-judgemental environment.
