Putting positive mental health at the heart of railway leadership

Many working in our industry have been directly impacted by poor mental health connected to their work or personal lives, including losing colleagues to suicide. It’s not always easy to talk about mental health, but after a particularly difficult year, it’s more important than ever that we make sure everyone who needs support can get it.

Our 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, to discuss 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.

In the session, we discuss the difference between being alone and feeling alone, the impact on loneliness on our mental and physical health and practical tips for managers and leaders to reduce loneliness in the workplace.

The mental health toolbox

Leaders and managers will daily face unexpected challenges and requests on their time to support staff. In this session we explore the dangers of having a single approach to respond to the various mental health issues staff experience and ask for any staff who manager, support or work in a team, what tools they can have to be ready to support others and how to tailor our support to the specific settings we are in. The session includes a brief input to the ways that the Railway Chaplains can support your teams.
