๐ Supporting Mental Health in Our Workplace ๐
We are very pleased to share that our Lead Administrator, Holly, has recently achieved her NCFE CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Mental Health First Aid and Mental Health Advocacy in the Workplace! ๐๐
The qualification has helped Holly develop a greater understanding of mental health and wellbeing, including recognising signs that someone may be struggling, approaching conversations around mental health sensitively, offering appropriate initial support and signposting people towards further help when needed.
It also focuses on mental health advocacy in the workplace, helping to challenge stigma, encourage open conversations and contribute towards creating a workplace where people feel comfortable speaking up when things are difficult. ๐
Working in care can be incredibly rewarding, but we also know that it can sometimes be physically and emotionally demanding. Our staff spend every day looking after others, and it is just as important that we look after one another too.
Holly will be here as an additional friendly and confidential point of support for our team. Whether somebody is having a difficult time, feeling overwhelmed, or simply needs someone to listen, she can offer an understanding ear and help guide them towards appropriate support where necessary.
Of course, Mental Health First Aid does not replace professional mental health or medical services, but it can make that important first conversation feel a little easier.
A huge congratulations to Holly on her achievement and for continuing to help make Lincombe Manor a supportive place to work. ๐๐ฟ
