Yesterday, I spoke at the Disability Confident event in Norwich, about emotional awareness, wellbeing at work, and how this is affected further by Neurodiversity.
I reminded them that employers can be parents of teenagers and young adults in depression, especially when suicidal, and that they may not be employing the person with the disability directly, to need to provide support to their staff.
I explained how emotional awareness can help regulate moods, settle and overwhelm, and build empathy skills both ways between them and employers.
I was fortunate to have an excellent employer when my son was suicidal. I would like to see more companies being able to support parents or young adults at work, where mental health issues are high.
With me in the photo is Michelle Rowlinson of Panacea Pause, a friend and networking colleague. She also got to have some life-changing conversations with key employment staff, HR, managers, DWP, and more who were at the event with us. She is inspiring employers to consider the disabiling effects of menopause and some of the extreme health conditions it can cause in women who are in work, from as early as their 30's.
As well as some follow up conversation to book, I'm looking forward to speaking again at another wellbeing event in April, to local MP's, GP'S, and top NHS staff, to highlight the importance of services like Seetec's Working Well employment advisors. Also the important of addressing emotional wellbeing as a positive means of supporting the mental health crisis.
