Anyone can develop mental ill health at almost any time in their life, just as they can a physical illness. Mental ill health is no respecter of age, background or circumstances. It can be triggered by a range of things.\nWhat other individual wellbeing issues are emerging we should consider? Supporting wellbeing in the workplace can take many forms, informal and formal, but it can provide effective support employees experiencing (e.g.)mental health difficulties, and keep them at work.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:20 – 12:00\nFinancial Wellbeing\nAn overview of Financial Wellbeing, information on current research and the links to overall wellbeing strategies and current challenges.\nTom Beaumont,  Public Sector Lead, Neyber\n\n\n12:00 – 12:30\nLunch Break/Networking\n\n\n12:30 – 13:30\nNeurodiversity (Nick Heckscher)\nCurrently It is estimated that around 1 in 6 people in the UK are in some way neurodiverse – i.e. their brain functions, processes and learns information differently to the majority of us. What this means is that we probably all know, are related to, and/or work and socialise with people that aren’t neurotypical!\nNeurodiversity includes dyslexia, autism, ADHD and more… Unfortunately workplaces and the recruitment processes that determine who can enter them are still largely designed by neurotypicals for neurotypicals. The NAS quote employment rates amongst autistic adults at a measly 16!\nThis interactive session will increase awareness of and empathy for those with autism; Nick will share stories from his work with ASPIeRATIONS to improve employment outcomes for those with autism, as well as actionable ideas to challenge the current situation which are transferable to other under-represented groups.\n\n\n13:30\nWorkforce Wellbeing\nFocus on wellbeing, challenges and some of the topical issues facing this sector. overview of some of the frameworks available specifically within the people category (E.g. apprenticeships, L&D and employee benefits)\nLesley Harrison and Tony Griffiths, Crown Commercial\n\n\n14:00\nOrganisational Wellbeing\nAndrew Collings, Client Director, Mind Gym\n\n\n14:30\nWrap up and finish\n\n\n\n\n
