Today, Tuesday 10th October 2023 is World Mental Health Day, which this year is focusing on workplaces, and policies from employees that help support good mental health in the workplace.
The charity, Mental Health Foundation has published a new campaign resource as part of their My Whole Self campaign for workplace culture change.
MHF explain:
"My Whole Self is MHFA England’s campaign for workplace
culture change. We want organisations to empower employees
to bring their whole self to work. By bringing together diversity and inclusion with health and wellbeing, we can drive positive transformation in workplace mental health and performance.
At MHFA England, we believe wellbeing and productivity fuel one another."
The image to the right is of one of the campaign resources available for you to download in the form of an A4 poster that can be used to publicise the campaign for individual's better mental health. It is ideal as a starting point for mental health awareness in individuals and to help create a positive mental health outlook in the workplace.
Additionally, and especially for this year's World Mental Health Day, the charity has provided a MY Whole Self MOT and is asking everyone to take time out to give themselves a check up using this resource.

Manager’s Toolkit, which they say is designed with the role that managers can play in creating positive workplaces, in mind:
"This short guide is written for managers working at all levels within organisations. It sets out some principles and practices that every manager should be developing to drive positive workplace wellbeing and create
workplaces where everyone is safe to bring their whole self to work. It has
been designed to help managers throughout the whole employee life cycle, giving ideas and tools to support them in their role."
