In Derbyshire we’re continuing our Be Kind campaign following World Suicide Prevention Day, encouraging simple acts of kindness and supportive conversations.
The week following 10 October, we'll be sharing a range of powerful Let's Chat Derbyshire Podcast episodes featuring local people who have openly shared their experiences of mental health, recovery, suicide prevention, neurodiversity, bereavement and more.
The day is also a chance to highlight the support available to you as a Derbyshire County Council employee:
We have a network of Mental Health First Aiders who can guide you to the support you need and you can also get support from our Employee Assistance Programme.
Find out more about mental health support including information and contact details for people who feel they are in crisis and need urgent help.
Joined Up Care Derbyshire's wellbeing team has several activities on their wellbeing timetable to help support you if you're feeling anxious, worried or stressed.
