SOLUTIONS
While mental health issue in the workplace may always be present to some extent, it is preventable in most cases from occurring at all or at the least reduced in its impact through Promotion, Prevention and Early Intervention (PPEI). The key elements to an effective strategy for prevention are the following:-
- Building holistic awareness for the individual, the leadership and the organisation
- Identifying issues at early stage and seeing the trends of individuals and teams
- Building a trusted support network to address challenges before they become issues
- Check-in more regularly and providing invited support to those under strain in the time of need
- Creating a psychologically safe culture where it is ok to be vulnerable and invite support.
Emotional Pulse was developed during the coronavirus pandemic to alleviate the challenge people experienced around mental health and how working from home reduced people’s ability to check-in and support each other during times of strain.
The technology is built in alignment with effective mental health frameworks of promotion, prevention and early intervention support. Support is most effective when is it timely, invited, trusted and skilled. Emotional Pulse fosters this type of support in a practical, confidential and human way, where technology enhances human empathic connections.
We are reducing the stigma related to mental health, increasing emotional awareness and effective support that prevents chronic mental health issues.
Emotional Pulse is to Mental Health what the Seatbelt is to Road Safety!
