Marking Mental Health Awareness Week 2023 with our Spring Business Breakfast

We were so proud to share our programme of mental health courses, and our approach to mental health at the University of Suffolk last week.

Hosted on 19th May to mark Mental Health Awareness Week 2023, our Spring Business Breakfast encouraged local, national, and even international companies to start conversations around supporting wellbeing in their workplaces.

We were delighted to be joined by representatives from a diverse range of organisations and industries, including:

• Shipping and Logistics (Bleckmann, VARTAN, Uniserve)
• Energy and Utilities (EDF, Pitkin & Ruddock Ltd)
• Construction (Barnes Construction)
• Legal (Smith & Co Solicitors, Bates Wells & Braithwaite Solicitors)
• HR and Recruitment (polkadotfrog, Lighthouse Personnel Ltd)
• Education (IKON Training, University of Suffolk)
• Public Sector (Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service)
• Design and Marketing (Hudson Group, GLO - Generate Leads Online)

The networking event included introducing the Emotional Needs & Resources approach to a fresh audience, sparking meaningful conversations and ideas for attendees to take back to their teams.

To round it all off, we enjoyed a debrief and a delicious new smoothie - the 'Berry BrainWave' - over at Paddy & Scott's café on Ipswich's beautiful waterfront.
