Dear All,
Today, October 10th, is Global Mental Health Awareness Day. In order to raise awareness and get a discussion going, I wanted to reach out and share a short email about how we can work together to ensure our mental health and support well-being in the workplace.
As you may be aware, at [INSERT COMPANY NAME] we’ve partnered with Kara Connect to provide you with access to a range of professional support services. Within our Wellbeing Hub platform we have a range of specialists, including mental, career, family and relationships, financial and physical health professionals. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to give you access to the support you need, when you need it.

In the meantime, however, we’re going to be… [1] as well as [2].
[OPTION 1: INSERT APPROPRIATE IDEA 1]:
hosting a weekly wellbeing coffee chat in October, where we can simply sit down together and talk about how we’re feeling, discuss our workloads and mental status. It’s a great way for us to check in collectively, listen to everyone’s needs and keep tabs on how we’re doing as a whole. We can only thrive if we’re open and honest about how we’re feeling – so we can be responsive and responsible towards one another.
[OPTION 2: INSERT APPROPRIATE IDEA 2]:
open a slack/team channel where you can share ways, ideas and actions you take to drive your wellbeing as an open channel for everyone to learn from each other.
----------At [Company Name], we are committed to supporting your wellbeing and we hope that the addition of our Wellbeing Hub, is a valuable addition to the range of benefits we already offer as we focus on our teams wellbeing.
Remember, taking care of ourselves is not selfish, it's necessary. We hope these tips help you take a step towards improved wellbeing. ❤️
Best regards,
{Manager/Engagement Team / HR Team Name}
