What's the series about?

This three-part series focuses on the importance of mental health in the workplace.

The current climate is incredibly stressful for all. With many uncertainties, endless change and constantly having to adapt, it can have serious effect on one’s mental health.

With many staff being placed on furlough at some point and returning to work can be daunting, these webinars support those staff on their return to work as part of a CPD opportunity.

Delivered by BUCS Mental Health Committee Chair Ian Braid FMHC and supported by other committee members, the theme for the series is ‘the people looking after the people’.

The purpose of the series is to:

  • Create a safe place where individuals can feel comfortable to raise their concerns
  • Recognise and share good practice models that you can use to support students and staff that you work with. 
  • Share case studies linked to how physical activity delivery models can support the mental wellbeing
  • Build a community to continue the conversations beyond the webinar series as part of a mental health network.

The first of the series focusing on the theme of ‘the people looking after the people’. This webinar starts individuals on a journey of self-reflection when thinking about the year ahead.

This session will involve:

  • Reflecting on your wellbeing by completing a short questionnaire for your own personal use
  • Discussion on what is important in life to those present
  • Looking at the forthcoming academic year and identifying critical points in the calendar that will impact wellbeing of staff and students.
  • Way to address these critical points as they arise.
  • Invitation to take part in a 24/7/31 commitment

This webinar encourages all attendees to be open, provide feedback and join in discussions to help guide and provide direction for the second and third webinars.
