Mental Health Awareness Week 2021: Keep the conversation going
For Mental Health Awareness Week 20021, Business Reporter talked to a number of leading experts to get their insights.
Lockdowns, remote working, mounting economic uncertainty and fear of the virus: the events of the past year have had a far-reaching impact on our mental health as a nation. Even the easing of restrictions has become worry-inducing for many after a year of isolation.
However, whilst compounding pressures have left many struggling, they have also importantly pushed the topic of mental health to the forefront, encouraging organisations to reflect on if they are doing enough to support employees. As things slowly return to (new) normal, it is paramount that these conversations continue – and Mental Health Awareness Week provides the perfect opportunity to do just that.
