Statement in support of challenge to bill re: MHFA

We are writing in support of the letter written by the ex MHFA Board Members: Amy McKeown, James Brown and Robert Manson regarding the second reading of the private members bill to make mental health first aid a legal requirement.

 

Whilst we believe MHFA plays a part in a whole organisation approach to mental health at work, we consider it just one element of a package of interventions that should be implemented, that considers both  preventative and reactive measures to mental health in the workplace.

 

Our significant cross sector expertise and multi-disciplinary approach means we are well versed in the most effective approaches to create and embed a positive culture of mental health at work and would welcome further discussions on these before any decisions are made on recommendations for this single intervention.

More and more employers are recognising their responsibility for employee health and well-being, but there needs to be a bigger shift towards prevention. To achieve a healthy workplace an employer needs to ensure that its culture, leadership and people management are the bedrock on which to build a fully integrated well-being approach.
