Andover Mind is proud to be supporting My Whole Self 2023, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England’s campaign for workplace culture change.
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, Andover Mind are proud to be a part of this movement.
MHFA England are focusing their attention on the role that managers play in helping people feel psychologically safe and bring their whole self to work.
What is My Whole Self Day?
- My Whole Self is the campaign for workplace culture change from Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England
- Now in its fourth year, it calls on organisations to empower employees to bring their whole self to work, and support their own and other’s wellbeing
- Wherever you are working from, feeling supported to choose to bring your whole self to work is better for wellbeing and better for business
Why should we encourage employees to bring their whole self to work?
- As the way we work has changed over the last three years, it is vital that workplaces, whether virtual, in person, or hybrid support their staff to bring their whole selves to work
- Workplaces are key to creating a society where everyone’s mental health matters, even more so at Andover Mind, where workplace wellbeing is high on our list of priorities.
- Bringing together diversity and inclusion with health and wellbeing will drive a positive transformation in workplace mental health and performance.
- Our people and teams are at their most effective and creative when everybody feels psychologically safe and is seen, heard and valued. We understand the critical role that managers play in making this happen. Working environments that allow people to be authentic and share their whole self are more positive and more productive. Win win!
