Understanding, promoting and developing psychological wellbeing and positive mental health in the workplace is critical to any organisation’s ‘success’ – the importance of this cannot be underestimated with regard to team functioning, workplace relations, levels of productivity, staff stress, absenteeism and safe practice. Dr Lunnon-Wood is experienced in working directly and indirectly with staff groups, teams and individuals, and can provide consultation, assessment and intervention to businesses, organisations and workplaces across the North East of Scotland.

Dr Lunnon-Wood delivers workshops and workplace seminars to help;

• Raise awareness of the most common mental health problems, enabling staff to recognise and understand some of the most common signs, symptoms and behaviours of mental health conditions and psychological distress within the workplace
• Build the confidence of staff to deal sensitively with colleagues who may be experiencing mental health problems and/or psychological distress and provide opportunity to discuss and understand the stigma that surrounds mental health
• Improve staff understanding of the way stress impacts on their own wellbeing and mental health and develop strategies for managing busyness, practising mindfulness at work and enhancing engagement
