The power of feeling heard.
Today is World Mental Health Day. This year's theme, Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change, highlights the importance of listening to people's experiences and creating environments where people feel comfortable speaking openly about their mental health.
To mark the day, we asked our Wellbeing and Mental Health Ambassadors why it's important that people feel heard when talking about their mental health.
Zoe Masterson, Payroll Manager & Wellbeing and Mental Health Ambassador, said:
"For me, it is vital that people feel heard when talking about their mental health, as this is the foundation of feeling supported and understood. People do not always need solutions, sometimes they simply need someone to listen without judgement. In a work environment, this can encourage openness, build trust and reinforce that their wellbeing matters. I believe it can make a real difference to how someone feels, knowing they have people they can speak to freely and honestly."
