Parent Mental Health Day served as a vital reminder of the importance of supporting the mental health and wellbeing of parents, guardians, and carers. Parents make up a significant proportion of those experiencing mental health challenges in the UK, 68% of women and 57% of men, highlighting the urgent need for tailored support. However, mental health doesn’t exist in isolation, when a parent is struggling, the impact is often felt across the entire family. In this article, Dr Glenn Mason, Head of Adult Psychological Therapies at Onebright, discusses the role of the employer in supporting parents and families.
The past four years or so have brought with them a range of financial, economic, and systemic shocks. While everyone is hoping for a steadier future, with interest rates and inflation falling and economic growth and wages rising, it is more important than ever to be mindful that for your employees it may not be that simple. Dr Glenn Mason, Head of Adult Psychological Therapies at Onebright, discusses supporting financial wellbeing in the workplace.
Despite growing awareness, there remains significant ignorance and stigma surrounding workplace mental health, as well as a lack of access to personalised support. This World Mental Health Day (10 October), Glenn Mason, Head of Adult Services at Onebright, focuses on the need to move away from a one-size-fits-all approach to provide employees with the right support.
There is still a huge amount of stigma, prejudice, and discrimination against individuals who come out as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and other genders in the workplace. For most individuals, it is an incredibly uncomfortable and emotional experience, and for some, it can be traumatic. In this article, Glenn Mason, Senior Clinical Lead at Onebright discusses how to support employees coming out in the workplace.
