How’s the mental health of your network?

Written by The FSC team | August 29, 2023

We held a free webinar around supporting the mental health of your network at work, home and community during Mental Health Awareness Week.

Not many of us know the best way to help our employees, colleagues, loved ones and friends when we see them struggling with their mental health. 

We held a free webinar on Tuesday 19th September during Mental Health Awareness Week, where our guest speakers shared strategies and tips to recognise and effectively support your connections in a way that makes everyone feel good.
