Our August blog is ‘How to keep workplace banter healthy: building belonging without crossing boundaries’.

Banter keeps many teams going. It lifts the mood, breaks the tension and helps people get through long days, difficult jobs and high-pressure situations. In many male-dominated and higher-risk workplaces, it is part of the rhythm of the day.

Sometimes a comment gets a laugh.

Sometimes it is simply how people show they know each other.

But sometimes it can isolate or target an individual.

Please use the link in the comment below, to discover how your organisation can address the challenge of keeping appropriate humour in work, whilst ensuring you notice when something that once brought people together has started doing the opposite and prevent it from causing harm.

Did you know that employers can see a return of £4.70 for every £1 spent on mental health interventions? The return comes through reduced absenteeism and staff turnover, plus higher productivity. (Deloitte UK)

This is why employers can, and should, be taking an ACTIVE role in preventing workplace mental ill-health but not just because it is good for their bottom line, but also because it is good for their workers’ mental health.

Since our founding in 2017 we have worked with hundreds of organisations across higher-risk sectors to create cultures of prevention through building positive mental health in and through work.

Does your team engage with your organisational wellbeing interventions?

Sometimes wellbeing doesn't land for one simple reason: The language is off.

❌Too polished.
❌Too corporate.
❌Too far removed from reality.

Especially in industries that don’t talk like that.

If someone reads it or hears it and thinks:

“That’s not for people like me.”

You’ve already lost them.

Because people engage with what is familiar.

Not what feels scripted.

It’s why our Start the Conversation training (which is part of our Membership Programme) lands so well.

Sometimes our posts ask you to check in with the people around you – those you know, and those you don’t – but today (24 July) is International Self-Care Day, so we would like you to check in with yourself.

Be honest, are you okay? It’s okay not to be okay. If you need support, please reach out to a friend, family member, colleague, your line manager, HR department, EAP (if you have one), or your GP. Alternatively, you can find a list of organisations that can help here by using the link in the comment below or you can text BeAMate to 85258 for support 24/7.

To care for ourselves we need to do a self-care check in. This is not just about our physical health but also our mental health. Whilst an awareness day is a good reminder to do this, it should not be restricted to an annual event, but something we do every day.

So, to kick off your self-care journey, why not take the opportunity to plan something nice for yourself, that slice of cake that’s been calling out to you; a walk in the park to destress; plan a catch up with friends; book a break; take up a new hobby. Whatever it is that will help, make a plan to start it today.

Football, eh!

For a time didn’t we all feel connected? We had a common language, a common goal (no pun intended), a common discussion point.

Football fever definitely hit the Mates in Mind team. Led by our wonderful Recheal Welsford, Supporter Development Manager (pictured), it got people talking, sharing opinions and having a bit of fun together.

The World Cup has also created plenty of conversations and actions amongst our supporters. Metro Rod and Metro Plumb used the opportunity to raise funds for Mates in Mind through a simple football-themed fundraiser.

A football scratch card helped bring people together, raise money and start conversations about mental health. By choosing an activity that resonated with their workforce, they created a simple way to engage people in a topic that can sometimes feel difficult to discuss.

Fundraising isn't just about the amount raised - it's about creating opportunities for meaningful conversations and helping to break down the stigma around mental health.
