Story

The Wiles family, in partnership with Mates in Mind, are aiming to shed light on the importance of mental health awareness and training within any organisation and help to break the silence and stigma surrounding mental ill-health in the workplace.

As a friend and colleague of Chris Wiles I, along with my brother and sister, have signed up to complete the Wimbledon Common Half Marathon in his memory. On the 11th April 2021 we will be running for Chris’s foundation and Mates in Mind to raise Mental Health awareness. Seeing first hand the impact this had on Chris and the devestating effect it has had on his family and friends has inspired myself, Nicola and Daniel to train and complete this event for the cause. Below is the family’s story.

On April 24, 2019, Chris Wiles, loving husband, father, son, brother and uncle, took the devastating action to take his own life.

With no previous mental health issues, Chris had reached out for help. However, his mental state deteriorated dramatically and within three months the anxiety and depression got hold of him with an even tighter grip and despite the help he received he became consumed.

The Wiles family, in partnership with Mates in Mind, are aiming to shed light on the importance of mental health awareness and training within any organisation and help to break the silence and stigma surrounding mental ill health in the workplace.

Paying attention to your mental health in the workplace has never been more important. Together, in Chris's memory, we can be the change needed to improve workplace mental health.
