Workplace wellbeing volunteers

In addition to the core team, there are also a number of workplace wellbeing volunteers within the company.

These are colleagues who, like several members of the workplace wellbeing team, have undergone First Aid in Mental Health training, delivered by MHScot Workplace Wellbeing.

Our workplace wellbeing volunteers currently include:

You can reach out to a workplace wellbeing volunteer in your own region. Or you can reach out to someone in another region. Just whatever you feel most comfortable with.
