World Suicide Prevention Day, a global awareness day dedicated to raising awareness of suicide prevention.
10th September marked World Suicide Prevention Day, a global awareness day dedicated to raising awareness of suicide prevention, reducing stigma, and encouraging people to seek support when they need it. This aligns with the international theme for 2024-2026,”Changing the Narrative on Suicide”, which promotes open conversations, understanding and support rather than silence and stigma.
At TMO Highways, we recognise that mental health is just as important as physical health. Every day, our people face pressures both inside and outside of work, and we are committed to creating a culture where no one feels they must struggle alone.
It’s OK Not to Be OK
Mental health challenges can affect anyone at any time. Stress, anxiety, financial pressures, relationship difficulties, bereavement, isolation, or work-related concerns can all have a significant impact on wellbeing.
One of the most important messages behind World Suicide Prevention Day is that a conversation can make a real difference. Asking someone how they are, listening without judgement, and helping them access support can have a lasting positive impact.
Sometimes people do not need solutions. They simply need someone who is willing to listen.
To support our colleagues, TMO has a network of trained Mental Health First Aiders located throughout the business. These individuals are available to offer a confidential listening ear, provide initial support and signpost colleagues towards appropriate professional help where required.
Our Mental Health First Aiders can help with:
- Stress, anxiety and low mood
- Work-related or personal pressures
- Signposting to professional support services
- Providing a safe first conversation
- Looking out for colleagues who may be struggling
- Offering a confidential listening ear
