This Wellbeing Wednesday we’re delighted to welcome Dr Andy Cope, the UK’s first doctor of happiness. Andy’s is bestselling author of ‘The Art of Being Brilliant’. He believes too many people are counting down to the weekend and wishing their life away. He wants to remind us that life is a short and precious gift, teach us how to challenge current habits and find new ways of thinking. You’ll also hear from Lizi Stewart from Atkins and Laura Brunton from The Clear Company on how being your authentic self at work is linked to positive wellbeing.

The mental health toolbox
Leaders and managers will daily face unexpected challenges and requests on their time to support staff. In this session we explore the dangers of having a single approach to respond to the various mental health issues staff experience and ask for any staff who manager, support or work in a team, what tools they can have to be ready to support others and how to tailor our support to the specific settings we are in. The session includes a brief input to the ways that the Railway Chaplains can support your teams.
How to support a colleague in grief
Death and grief: two topics often met with uncomfortable silence. A survey by the Dying Matters Coalition found that a staggering 83% of people in Britain feel uneasy discussing dying and death. However, this silence can be isolating for those experiencing loss. So, what can you do? How can you reach out and support a grieving colleague without feeling awkward or resorting to cliches?
Dr Erin Hope-Thompson, The Loss Foundation, equips you with the tools to navigate these difficult conversations.
