AmicusHorizon Diversity Group
Mental Health
Awareness
Day 2015
We’re supporting Mental Health
Awareness Day with our ‘tea
and talk’ event on 8 October
2015. We’ll have representatives
from the Diversity Group in each
of our offices. They’ll share
information on how you can
support friends and colleagues
if they’re experiencing a mental
health problem. It’s those little
gestures that can make such a big
difference.
The Diversity Group will have
practical resources as well as
information on the support you
can access from AmicusHorizon
should you be affected.
Further information on mental
health support is available at:
