Every year, UK Mental Health Awareness Week takes place in May and is hosted by The Mental Health Foundation. Here at St John Ambulance, we have made it one of our missions to break down stigma related to mental health in the workplace.

Mental Health Awareness Week is an annual event when there is an opportunity for the whole of the UK to focus on achieving positive mental health. The event has grown to become one of the biggest awareness weeks across the UK and globally. The theme for this year is Loneliness.

Loneliness is affecting more and more of us in the UK and has had a huge impact on our physical and mental health during the pandemic. Our connection to other people and our community is fundamental in protecting our mental health and we need to find better ways of tackling the epidemic of loneliness. We can all play a part in this. 

Across the week we’ll be hosting a free online webinar session which will focus on workplace cultures and shining a spotlight on wellbeing in the workplace. We will also be releasing new mental health mini e-learning modules and offering lots of free resources (including our new ‘Managers Guide: Managing wellbeing for remote workers) for you to use in your workplace, with the aim of improving people’s mental health.

As any organisation will know, change is difficult. However, there are ways to make it easier; the Theory of Change is a useful framework that supports organisational change in 3 areas:

1. Focus (clear vision and goals) 
2. Efficiency (best path between now and your vision)
3. Unity (collaboration of organisation and stakeholders towards common goals)
4. Evaluation: (evaluate activities so that your stakeholders/beneficiaries can experience better outcomes)

The Theory of Change may seem complex, but Boomy Tokan and the School of Social Sustainability are here to make this easy and straight-forward. Their motto is ‘Doing Good & Doing Well’ and they support Social Enterprises, Charities & Non-For-Profits to grow and be successful. One of their newest courses on the Theory of Change is bringing together the theory and 20 years of experience in the business startup arena for a highly efficient way to learn and apply this valuable framework.
