November is here, which means one thing and one thing only: the countdown to the festive season is ON! Whether you’re the type to deck the halls on November 1st or someone who buries their head in the sand until the last minute, one thing we can all agree on is that the end of the year is approaching—and for many, the pressure is beginning to mount.

Mental health in the workplace is something I’ve always cared deeply about, and it’s a key reason why I founded Reasonful. After navigating my own mental health challenges, I felt compelled to help others who might be struggling in silence. That’s why I’m thrilled that this year’s World Mental Health Day, on October 10th, focuses on mental health in the workplace - a topic that affects millions of workers globally.

In the corporate world, where deadlines loom and inboxes overflow, the idea of prioritising self-care can sometimes feel like a luxury reserved for weekends and holidays - if only those weren’t also jam-packed!

 For leaders, who are frequently managing the pressures of a demanding workplace while also supporting a team, this challenge becomes even more daunting, especially for those with caregiving responsibilities outside of work. Under such intense stress, making personal wellbeing a priority can seem almost impossible...

August has arrived, and as Cliff Richard famously sang, "We’re all going on a summer holiday!" While this time of year offers a much-deserved break from the daily grind, it also introduces a whole host of challenges for the workplace as, after all, the demands of the working world don’t take a holiday, even if we do.

In this blog, I’ll dive into why taking time off is essential for mental health, explore strategies for leaders on how to survive when your team is out of office, and share tips on how you can make the most of your own time off.

On July 24th, it’s ‘Samaritans Awareness Day’ in the UK. This day emphasises the importance of having someone to talk to and reminds us that the Samaritans are always available. As they put it, “We're raising awareness throughout July to let people know that they can talk to us, day or night, 24/7.”

This initiative is so important, not only because everyone needs someone to talk to, but also to encourage open conversations about mental health and support those who are struggling.

As part of my business, Reasonful, I run numerous events and workshops and design wellbeing strategies for businesses. Over the past few months, I've been hearing a lot of questions around leadership.

Questions like, "How can we better support our people?", "How can we prioritise mental health while navigating extremely busy business periods?" and "What does a leader who gets this right look like?"

Every year, the UK celebrates Mental Health Awareness Week - a time to focus on mental wellbeing, raise awareness, and combat stigma surrounding mental health. This year, the week will run from May 13th to 19th, with a powerful theme: Movement.
