Mental Health Awareness Week is 15th-21st May. Looking after its team’s mental health is extremely important to Shropshire Homes with over 50% of its team having received Mental Health First Aid training. Not only this, but also its team’s wellbeing as a whole; therefore, Shropshire Homes have recently introduced an initiative focusing on the wellness of its team and appointing Helen Pritchard, Sales & Marketing Director, as ‘Director of Wellness’.
One of the initiatives includes hosting ‘Wellness Wednesdays’. Shropshire Homes held their first Wellness Wednesday with guest speaker, Zach Fairbanks, Co-Founder of Wellbeing in Your Office. The aim of the session was to find ways to look after your own wellness with an emphasis on building focus and resilience.
This is the start of many Wellness Wednesdays. As part of the wellness initiative, Shropshire Homes have also introduced departmental ‘Learning Lunches’ and ‘Mindful Mondays’ with some departments having already had their first session.
