Mental health & wellbeing

The clear culture at Dafferns is – It’s OK not to be OK

We support our team by being open and signposting help and resources, should they need it

And as part of this we are supporting My Whole Self 2023, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England’s campaign for workplace culture change

Our mental health and wellbeing are crucial and we are continuously working on making sure our team are healthy and supported.

Recently, Clare Walkeden from Auburn Consultancy held two excellent wellbeing sessions for the team on psychological wellbeing, to reintroduce the fundamentals of what being well, psychologically and physically, looks and feels like.

The sessions explored simple tactics and models, including the 5 backstops of wellbeing, that can be used to develop and increase resilience and feelings of control, reduce low mood and manage stress to improve and maintain your mindset for mental health.

In addition, looking at recognising the differences and core thoughts, feelings and behaviours we experience when our mental wellbeing is challenged – including low mood, depression, stress, anxiety and burnout.

In 2023 we shouldn’t feel like we have to leave parts of our identity behind – be that our cultural or ethnic background, gender identity, sexuality, disability, or health. The My Whole Self campaign calls on organisations to empower employees to bring their whole self to work, whether that be digitally or in person, and support their own and other’s wellbeing. This year we are proud to be a part of this movement.
