WHAT IS PSYCHED?
PSYCHED is an initiative of Cork Healthy Cities and Counties, supported by Healthy Ireland, Cork City Council, Cork County Council, the Health Service Executive, University College Cork and community workplace partners. We want workplaces to get PSYCHED about mental health and wellbeing!
PSYCHED AIMS
To stimulate conversations in the workplace leading to a better understanding of mental health
To encourage employers to engage with staff to promote and foster mental health in the workplace by setting goals for positive improvement
To celebrate commitment, good practice and innovation in mental health promotion in the workplace through participation in the Annual PSYCHED Celebration event.
OUR GOAL
To stimulate conversation that promotes better understanding of mental health and wellbeing in the workplace
WHY GET PSYCHED?
Just like our physical health, our mental health can vary from day to day. Learning about mental health in the workplace helps to develop working environments that are supportive, nurturing and open to growth and change.
We invite workplaces to get PSYCHED. Whatever your activities, no matter how big or small, join in to share good practice, ideas and workplace initiatives that support mental wellbeing
