The Society are supporting the theme of community and have joined in the theme of going green. Many of you will know that our Exec Director Fiona Ellwood is an avid campaigner for mental health and has been a driving force behind Mental Health Wellness in Dentistry, she has also been part of the research group and project MindSetUk.
The Society has an on-going call to action, for the whole team to ensure that this is a key priority in every place of work. Mental health does not give way to any particular professional group, it can hit anyone, you never know what is going on in anyone’s life so be kind. Make mental health wellness part of the core values of the working environment and culture and frequently check in on colleagues. Most of all check in on colleagues you have not spoken to for sometime. Remember, Mental Health Awareness week is a small snapshot in time and after this week keep lighting the way.
