It's OK to Talk: A Practical Guide to Mental Health for Men

Product Information

You don't need any special training to show someone you care about them. Here are some things you can do to offer emotional support: We were keen to spread the word about the network and our aims within GDS. We also wanted to find a way to promote positive wellbeing, provide comfort to people who might be having a bad moment at work, and encourage people to talk about mental health. We ALL have a duty to stand up to racism and call it out wherever we encounter it. As Adam Coldwells, our Deputy Chief Executive, says in the intro to the video, NHS Grampian will stand shoulder to shoulder with you in doing so and take robust action where it occurs. But: it's a start, and we hope it gives newcomers at GDS a hint about how we work, and how they'll be working too. Some of those old hands I mentioned have said they found it useful too.

In Conversation with..." NHS Grampian Chief Executive, Caroline Hiscox is joined by Sneh Banik, Consultant at ARI and NHS Grampian diversity champion, where they discuss the hugely detrimental effects of racism and the challenges it poses us as a healthcare organisation. The network is focused on improving support for anyone at GDS who is affected by poor mental health (whether directly or indirectly), and protecting and promoting good mental health for everyone. Since it started, highlights of the project have included the opportunity to meet HRH the Duke of Cambridge at the launch of a ‘Heads Up’ campaign he was spearheading with the Football Association, and participants preparing and releasing a music video, their own version of ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’.

Unfortunately, my first thoughts ofsuicide were not my last and had it not been for timely intervention in the previous months, I may well not be here today. We're hiring quite a lot of new people at GDS, and that's brilliant because there are so many new brains and new skills and new faces to get to know. But it also had to be an idea big enough to house the vast array of BT’s products and services, as well as build as a campaign. Individual call stimulation successes wouldn’t be enough. If someone feels suicidal, talking to someone who can listen and be supportive may be their first step towards getting help. They could talk to someone in their life. They could also talk to a professional such as a doctor or therapist, or a trained listener at a helpline. See our information on talking therapy and counselling and helplines. Our dedicated equality and diversity team, our H&R Hub - and your colleagues - are all available to lend their support to you, confidentially and respectfully.Across the world, the facts speak clearly: men aren’t going to the doctor soon enough.

But over time it started to not only make sense, but also grow as a thought of such immense power that it would become the focal point for all of BT’s consumer advertising.
