Mental Health Traffic Light System (Doc, 3MB)

 

With mental health problems affecting one in six workers each year along with growing evidence that COVID-19 is having a negative impact on people’s mental health and well-being, now is the time to ensure our colleagues talk about mental health along with any concerns they may have while encouraging staff to reach out for support if needed.

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.
