As World Mental Health Day takes place on 10 October, Repairify is prioritising its workforce’s mental health inside and outside the office with the appointment of operations manager Steve Mullen as its first mental health first aider.
In his role, Steve will provide a safe, confidential, and supportive space for anyone within the business who may need someone to talk to, and if required, he will point them in the direction of the appropriate help that might be needed.
In addition, before and during World Mental Health Day, Repairify will be sharing content on its social media channels that highlights what mental health first aiders do as well as various assets to help break the stigma of talking about mental health.
Steve said: “We all face difficult moments both professionally and personally. What we should remember is that it is ok to seek support when things get tough rather than bottling it all up. I’m delighted to have qualified as a mental health first aider and in this role, I want to be able to help people break the stigma of talking about their mental health and the issues that might be affecting them.”
