BDO Biz Bite – Spot the Signs. Start the Conversation
Our May BDO Biz Bite was presented by Kate Sherriff from Hato Hone St John. Spot the Signs, Start the Conversation was focused on understanding that everyone has mental health, just like everyone has physical health. We explored how mental health is not simply “good” or “bad,” but exists on a continuum that we all move along throughout our lives. Life is life – we all experience challenges, stress, and setbacks but it is our resilience, coping strategies, and support systems that make our experiences different from one another.
We also reflected on the importance of filling our own buckets and keeping them balanced, so we can better support both ourselves and those around us. Fluctuating between feeling well and struggling is a normal part of being human but it’s when someone becomes stuck, that is when support and early intervention become important. The session encouraged participants to recognise the signs early, support one another, and help create healthier, more connected workplaces. Thanks to our wonderful sponsor BDO for bringing the very kind and knowledgeable Kate Sherriff to us!
