Third Sector Podcast - Mental health in the charity sector
Created: 04/10/2024
News/Events Category: General News
This item will show under the following categories: Health and Social Care
Ahead of World Mental Health Day 2024 (10 October), Third Sector Podcast's latest episode explores mental health issues in the voluntary sector. This includes how organisations can support their staff, volunteers and service users in this area.
Many charities in the UK offer mental health support to their service users, either as a core component of their service offering or as part of a more holistic package of support.
But how about people who are working within those charities? As working environments become increasingly pressured with fewer resources to deal with greater levels of demand, how can organisations support the supporters?
Their guest on this episode is Alicia Nagar, Head of People, Wellbeing and Equity at Mental Health First Aid England and the Association of Mental Health First Aiders.
Highlights from the episode include discussion around:
- Mental health first aid
- Challenges as a result of cost-of-living and Covid-19
- Employee assistance programmes, access to GPs and healthcare cash plans
- Importance of regular touchpoints with staff
- Trust and culture
