“We are all in
it together: exploring our personal and collective power around mental health”
– looks at the root causes of mental ill health in work, how to challenge
these, and wider societal issues around mental health.
The survey will be open until 19th May, so please go on and complete it and share widely.
A report of the findings
will be prepared for the event in June, ahead of further campaign work on this
issue.
Sarah Collins, Policy Officer said, "Trade Unions can provide a space to support people with
mental ill health. They are also vital in challenging employers whose workplace
cultures create mental ill health"
The STUC equalities committees are holding an event in June
(details tbc) on the need to ensure trade union reps, particularly health and
safety reps, are at the forefront of designing, implementing and enforcing
workplace practices which eradicate mental ill health caused or exacerbated by
work.
This event will look at the findings of the survey.
