Rail Wellbeing Live has organised a special event on Wednesday (May 19) bringing together leaders across the industry to promote positive mental health.
At 11am, as part of Wellbeing Wednesday, Chair Ruth Busby from Great Western Rail, will be joined by a panel of senior leaders and the former General Secretary of the RMT, Mick Cash.
They will be discussing why it is so important for leaders across the industry to promote positive mental health, what steps are being taken to support colleagues and what more can be done.
Also taking part is Steve White, Chief Operating Officer at GTR; Claire Mann, Managing Director of South Western Railway; and John Halsall, Managing Director Southern Region Network Rail.
As always, there will be plenty of time for audience questions at the end of the session and the organisers would like to hear about your experience. If you would prefer to ask your questions anonymously, please send it to contact@railwellbeinglive.co.uk ahead of the session or you can ask questions via the chat box on the day.
If anyone is affected by the topics discussed they can visit Samaritans for further information.
Jenny Wilson, event director for Wellbeing Wednesdays and Rail Wellbeing Live, said: “So many of us have been through an incredibly tough time over the last year, with the ongoing challenges of the pandemic. Given Mental Health Awareness Week was last week, we thought this was the right month to hold a special event, bringing together leaders from across the industry on why it’s so important for them to promote positive mental health, what steps are being taken to support colleagues and what more can be done.”
