Building Community for Mental Health and Wellbeing
Mental Health Awareness Week 2025 celebrates the power and importance of community.
A strong sense of community—both inside and outside of work—is essential for mental health and wellbeing. When we feel connected, supported, and valued, we are more resilient, more engaged, and better able to navigate challenges effectively.
Yet, in today’s hybrid and fast-paced work environments, many people experience isolation or a lack of meaningful connection. This can be one of the major causes of poor mental health and reduced productivity.
Overview
This session explores the vital role of community in workplace wellbeing, providing practical strategies to strengthen relationships, foster belonging, and create a culture of support. Forget the ‘hype’ of the new co-working place claiming ‘Amazing Community!’ - this is about real connections and genuine person to person support.
We explore the psychological and physiological benefits of strong social connections and share practical ways to build mentally healthy communities at work and beyond.
We take a look at how organisations can implement inclusive, supportive workplace practices and identify small but impactful changes to cultivate connection in daily interactions.
Through discussion, reflection, and interactive exercises, participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how to strengthen community in their workplace and personal lives—creating a more connected and supportive environment for all.
