The impact of work-related stress, other life events, and personal vulnerability, can adversely affect mental health. There is growing recognition that this can lead to a range of issues including diminished focus or disengagement from both work and life, which can sadly lead to increased levels of suicide.

The expertise within Mates in Mind is around getting workers, to become aware of their own mental health and to be comfortable and confident in raising concerns. Whether people are worried about their own mental health, that of a colleague, friend, or family member, or because they are worrying about something else that is impacting their mental health, like debt or relationship issues.

DCWW are committed to helping Mates in Mind as well as supporting each other and all those within our network.
