Mental Health First Aiders

We continue to increase our number of fully trained Mental Health First Aiders, we now have thirty as well as six Cancer Ambassadors. Every meeting we have starts with a two word check-in (one word to describe how are you feeling at home and one word for how are you feeling at work). This is a great way for individuals to use this as a mechanism to seek help and break down stigma. Signposting individuals for additional support is important. GroceryAid is an incredible resource for this. So far 57% of our Filshill family have reached out to GroceryAid, and we have been awarded with the Grocery Aid Gold Membership.

Future Goals for Mental Health

We believe that the key to good mental health revolves around key areas of Sleep, Exercise, Social Interaction, Hobbies, Helping Others, and Stress Management. Our Wellbeing team arranges activities around these subjects throughout the year to ensure our collective wellbeing is as good as it can be.
