This month we are shining the spotlight on the importance of mental health awareness in support of World Mental Health Day and Mental Health Awareness Month. Our health and wellbeing is essential to how we do business. A mentally healthy workplace is one where we can realise our potential, work productively and creatively and contribute in a meaningful way to the success of our clients, each other and the business.
At WPP AUNZ we are working towards building a culture that promotes positive mental health; supports those who may be living with a mental health condition; protects our people and improves our collective understanding and awareness of mental health.
Here you will find resources to support you, and to help you build your understanding of what it means to be mentally healthy. We’ve also had some honest conversations with our leaders about what mental health means to them, how they cope with tough times personally and why this is important to their leadership.
Need help?
If you or anyone you know is struggling, know that you are not alone. You can find support services for AU and NZ, and if you are a WPP AUNZ employee, you can reach out to our EAP 24/7 for a confidential conversation.
