The Lord Mayor’s Appeal brings together businesses, employees, neighbouring communities, and charities to find solutions to some of London’s most pressing societal issues. Their strategy falls into four main areas: An Inclusive City, A Healthy City, A Skilled City and A Fair City.
As part of A Healthy City, they coordinate This is Me, a business-led mental health campaign. It’s committed to changing attitudes towards mental health, with organisations collaborating to build inclusive workplace cultures. It aims to reduce the stigma and dispel the myths around mental health in the workplace and to raise awareness of wellbeing.
Wellbeing in the Workplace is a free online wellbeing programme that gives employees the skills they need to manage their own emotional health, and to support those around them, well before those feelings reach crisis point.
The Green Ribbon Campaign encourages organisations to invite their employees to wear a green ribbon during Mental Health Awareness Week and on other significant dates, to help end the stigma around mental health.
This is Me is a business-led campaign to support organisations, and their employees, to talk about mental health. It encourages people with experience of a mental health problem, whether their own or of a loved one, to share their stories.
