We don’t need to have the answers, in order to be willing to have the conversation.
Mental Health First Aid England's objective is to have 1 in 10 people trained in mental health first aid skills. To date, their figures have them at 1 in 70. The pandemic has brought the importance of wellbeing in the workplace, and mental health in general, to the fore.
In 2018, Simon Blake was hired as the CEO of MHFA England. Upon his appointment, MHFA stated:
"Simon has dedicated his career to working with young people and has a long track record of championing difference and creating platforms for people’s voices to be heard."
We talk to Simon about the role of MHFA England, the importance of talking and listening, as well as rights for the LGBT+ community, and the impact of the pandemic to the countries collective mental wellbeing.
