Becoming Flavor’s Mental Health First Aider

We all remember the first time we learned CPR.. “pump the chest to the tune of Stayin’ Alive by the Bee Gees”, or how to put someone into the recovery position. We all know which number to dial in case of a life threatening emergency and what a well stocked first aid box looks like. But what about first aid for the problems you can’t see?

Recently, I’ve taken on the role of Flavor’s mental health ambassador and have started stocking up our ‘mental health first aid box’. We all have mental health, just as we all have physical health. We all have good mental health days and we all have bad mental health days. My goal as our mental health ambassador is not for everyone to be 100%, all of the time, but to ensure that the team have access to the resources they need for when they’re not feeling 100%.

I’ve recently qualified as a Mental Health First Aider, which has given me lots of insight into mental health, and mental illness, and how we as leaders can promote positive well being. Being a fully remote company, I was really keen to learn about ways we can do this without being face to face. It’s sometimes a little harder to pick up on peoples body language or mood via Zoom, or for people to connect for a quick chat about something that’s been on their mind, so it was great to leave the course with some brilliant ideas and steps moving forward.

I’m now beginning to pull together Flavor’s mental health and well-being policy, to make sure our team have access to a wide range of support and resources.

Stay tuned to hear more about the well-being policy and other ideas in the works!
