Thursday, 10 October, is World Mental Health Day. This year’s theme is workplace mental health. Many people spend one-third of their lives at work, so supporting mental health in the workplace is important.
Visit the Mental Health Foundation’s advice page on workplace mental health for lots of advice on how to look after your mental health at work, including a helpful worksheet to check in with yourself about how you are doing.
If you are a PA or you employ a PA, the PA’s workplace is the disabled person’s home or when out with the disabled person in the community. Did you know that if you are a PA employed by an adult receiving Direct Payments from the Royal Borough of Kingston, you will be eligible for ILG-PA at no cost to yourself? ILG-PA includes a counselling service and access to the MyMindPal app, which helps support your mental health every day.
