World Mental Health Day announcements

[sh...@csip.org.uk]

Shift is the Department of Health-funded initiative to tackle the
stigma and discrimination experienced by people with mental health
problems.

Today we announced a resource for line managers about mental health.
We also released information about the independent review panel set-up
by Shift to help organisations prepare materials about mental health
and employment.

++ Shift Line Managers' Resource ++

The Line Managers' Resource is a booklet and website that gives advice
and information for managing and supporting people with mental health
problems in the workplace.

The Line Managers' Web Resource website also gives advice and
information for employees to help them assess their own needs and plan
for meetings with their manager.

++ Independent Review Panel ++

The Independent Review Panel has been set-up by Shift. It will review
and assess the quality and impact of materials designed to help
employers promote mental wellbeing and manage mental ill health in the
workplace.

For more information and to find out how the panel can help you
prepare materials, see the Independent Review Panel page:
