This year, we’ll be sharing more opportunities to take action together. To help get things started, I thought I would share some funding opportunities, new resources, and things you can do to take action for people, climate and nature this January.

There are lots of ways you can get conversations going and they don’t always have to be formal. It could range anywhere between planning in a coffee catch-up with the whole team to holding a day of one-to-one meetings with staff members. It’s important to build supportive relationships where people feel comfortable to talk about any challenges they’re experiencing. Not sure what to say? If you find talking about mental health and how people are feeling difficult, try using the Talking Toolkit to help structure conversations. The Toolkit guides you through each of the 6 mains causes of stress, how workers should feel in terms of coping with the demands of the job and provides practical ideas on how to improve things. If someone is struggling... If you think that a worker is having problems, encourage them to talk to someone. It could be a trusted colleague, their line manager, a trade union representative, GP, or occupational health team if they have access to one. Managing mental health at work Although employers have a legal duty to protect employees from stress at work, diagnosing and treating stress isn’t their responsibility. Employers have a responsibility to identify the risks of stress and act on them to improve conditions at work. That might mean making adjustments and helping someone manage a mental health problem at work. Find out more about the practical resources and support available:
