‘Everything will be ok’

Initiatives like World Mental Health Day and last week’s Mental Health Awareness Week are both helpful reminders of just how important good mental wellbeing is to all of us, particularly in the current circumstances.

The lockdown has made it very difficult to stay connected and this has unsurprisingly, had an adverse effect on people’s mental health.

Press play to hear from Shaun Davis, our global director compliance and sustainability, on why it’s so important that you stay connected to your teams, your friends, and your family.

‘These are really challenging times that we’re in and it’s affecting us all in different ways, said Shaun. ‘But what’s crucial to remember is that it’s really important to share how you’re feeling and recognise that you are not alone.’
