Our network focuses on raising awareness and promote positive conversations surrounding mental health and illness to break the stigma surrounding the subject. We do this by offering our members and colleagues a safe space to be open about mental health & share their experiences, in the form of events, newsletters, lunch and learns, FIKAs, department talks, and more. 

Our objective is to build a community that supports, raises awareness and helps shape the future of mental health in our organisation, and for everyone to feel comfortable speaking openly about mental health.

For the month of October, in honour of World Mental Health Day on the 10th October, we are raising money for Phoenix Group's UK charity partner, Samaritans. We are especially close to this cause as the Phoenix Group's mental health network and we hope to smash records with our fundraising this month! So please, join us in doing 'Your 24' - whatever it may be! - and send a photo to the Mind Matters mailbox so we can promote your amazing work with our members and colleagues.

Samaritans is available round the clock, every single day of the year providing a safe place for anyone struggling to cope, whoever they are, however they feel, whatever life has done to them. For more information please visit www.samaritans.org
