Hello!

I've had a few discussions recently with firms who've indicated they're noticing a significant gap between the initial intervention of Mental Health First Aiders and when their people are then able to obtain the full Mental Health support they need. In part, this appears to be due to the lead times in accessing certain Mental Health services.

Does anyone have any ideas and/or examples of how they've helped their own people to manage this gap once they've engaged with their Mental Health First Aiders?

Thank you!

In our latest Signatory call on Wednesday 23rdc April we heard from U.S. Bank Deputy General Counsel, Ben Carpenter, (and winner of last year's MBC Champion of the Year Award) who, in conversation with Richard, gave us an overview of the work he has been doing around wellbeing, both with the U.S. Bank Guidelines.

We also shared some exciting updates about our U.K. Conference, feedback from our visit to Singapore, and more on our plans for the rest of the year.

You can catch up with the recording of the session HERE.

To mark Parent Mental Health day we were delighted to be joined on a signatory call on Tuesday 11th March by BlueSky to explore parental burnout.

Managing a work life balance can be challenging at the best of times, but when we have children, it becomes increasingly complex.

This session looks at:

* What is parental burnout including warning signs

* What can organisations do to effectively support working parents?

* How can an organisation's culture make a difference?

* Insights from BlueSky (currently coaching over 250 new parents)

You can view the recording here along with the slides.

Does anyone have any experience they can share of introducing a Resource Management system and/or Resource Manager to their firms? Interested in learnings, how it was approached, feedback etc.

Thank you!
