Mid Shires IOSH Community - Mental Health: The Background App

A practical event for health and safety professionals to learn how to understand and support mental health and wellbeing at work.
About this Event

We spend hours updating our phones, charging our devices, and fixing our Wi-Fi when it stops working. But when it comes to our own mental wellbeing, many of us just try turning ourselves off and on again and hope for the best.

If you've ever felt stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, this presentation is for you.

Join Lynn Jones, Consultant Occupational Therapist for an honest, engaging, and occasionally amusing look at mental health—because understanding our minds shouldn't be a taboo subject, and sometimes the best way to start an important conversation is with a smile.

Event programme

• 18:00 Arrival and refreshments, food provided
