About this event:
Organiser: Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce
This year’s World Mental Health Day, on 10 October, comes at a time when our daily lives have changed considerably as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The past months have brought many challenges for everyone. Health-care workers providing care in difficult circumstances, going to work fearful of bringing COVID-19 home with them; for students adapting to taking classes from home with little contact with teachers and friends and anxious about their futures; for workers whose livelihoods are threatened; for the vast number of people caught in poverty or in fragile humanitarian settings with extremely limited protection from COVID-19; and for people with mental health conditions, many experiencing even greater social isolation than before. The economic consequences of the pandemic are already being felt, as companies let staff go in an effort to save their businesses, or indeed shut down completely.
This event on 9 October will focus on mental health training, employee benefits and inclusive environments.
