E.G. LEWIS GROUP ATTEND TIME TO CHANGE WALES PLEDGED ORGANISATION NETWORKING EVENT

E.G. Lewis Group were delighted to attend Time To Change Wales pledge organisation networking event at University Hospital Wales, Cardiff on Wednesday 16th January, 2019.

Hapus’  - Rhondda Housing Association and Cardiff & Vale UHB were just two of a number of organisations that highlighted their work that surrounds mental health within the workplace, this alongside their previous activities undertaken in relation to Time To Talk Day.

This years’ Time to Talk Day is taking place on Thursday 7 February 2019 – which is all about bringing together the right ingredients to have that conversation about mental health. Whether that’s tea, biscuits and close friends or a room full of people challenging mental health stigma, we want you to get talking. It's a great day for communities, workplaces, schools, or anyone to get together and have a chat.

The Time to Change Wales pledge is a public declaration that an organisation wants to step up to tackle mental health stigma and discrimination. It isn’t a quality mark, accreditation or endorsement. There is no test or application. You just have to commit to taking actions that are realistic and right for you that will lead to a reduction in discrimination within your organisation and the wider community.

More organisations stepping up to make the organisational pledge means more noise is being made – helping to break the silence around mental health. Imagine if every organisation in Wales made a public pledge to tackle stigma: employers big and small, councils, universities, football clubs, places of worship, charities… that would send a powerful message that mental health is something that can be talked about, and that stigma and discrimination are not welcome.

Break the culture of silence that surrounds mental health and talk to your employer.
