Mindful Business Charter Community Area

Suitable for: All colleagues in MBC organisations, especially HR, Wellbeing, D&I, Risk.

‍

Synopsis: MBC were delighted and proud to be part of this year's Wellbeing at Work London conference and host one of the optional workshop sessions. The workshop provided an opportunity to officially launch our new employer resource, Addressing Suicide in the Workplace and if you were unable to attend you can watch the recording here.

‍

These resources have been created with the support of a number of individuals and have been broken down into three key areas:

• Reducing the Risk of Suicide: Identifying workplace factors that may increase risk, identifying ways to mitigate those risks, and being ready to support colleagues who show signs of distress.
• Intervention: Steps an employer or colleagues can take when someone may be experiencing suicidal thoughts
• Postvention: Organisational responses following a death by suicide.

‍

You can also download a copy of the resources, read about training with Olly's Future (which is a recommendation) and listen to a podcast episode where Consultant Psychiatrist Rachel Gibbons and Richard Martin discuss the stigma around suicide and some common myths in the nwe Suicide Resource section of the members area.
