Members.
UnitedMINDs is run by employees of the LFB, for employees of the LFB.
Where we fit.
UnitedMINDs is one of several equality support groups helping to make the LFB a diverse and inclusive employer as part of their Togetherness Strategy
What we do.
UnitedMINDs has been set up to offer peer support to those in the organisation impacted by poor mental health; either personally or through supporting someone else.
How we do it.
By increasing awareness, and through education, we aim to break down the stigma attached to poor mental health and signpost to organisations that can assist. These include the LFB's in house Counselling and Trauma Services, the Firefighters Charity, Mind and many others.
What is mental health?
“Good mental health is related to mental and psychological well-being. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices..”
