“Promoting positive mental health in workplaces” aims to raise awareness of the benefits of healthy inclusive work and to improve workplace support for individuals with mental health issues. It is a joint initiative being taking forward by The Scottish Trade Union Congress (STUC), Scottish Development Centre for Mental Health (SDC) and The Scottish Centre for Healthy Working Lives (SCHWL) with support from The Scottish Government. The project will also seek to explore channels where trade unions can offer more practical and sensitive support in different workplaces. The year long pilot project will look specifically at raising awareness in 5 workplaces with trade unions and management building awareness, and action planning to provide sustainable outcomes. The project will include an introductory planning session and two follow up training sessions in each workplace.
