[My assessor's] knowledge, patience and willingness to help whenever I needed advice made a huge difference throughout the journey. There were times when the workload and challenges felt overwhelming, but [their] support helped keep me focused and motivated to keep progressing.
Today is World Mental Health Day, a good reminder that protecting people's wellbeing in the workplace is just as important as physical safety.
The HSE's Working Minds campaign encourages employers to recognise work related stress and take practical steps to prevent it. It's something I always recommend the candidates I assess on our L2 Mental Health First Aid Awareness course to look at, as it offers useful rescources and realistic guidance that they can apply in their everyday work life: workright.campaign.gov.uk/working-minds/
At SHE Knows, we encourage assessors to check in, guide, and support their candidates, because sometimes that human connection is exactly what someone may need to stay motivated and keep going.
Be kind to yourself, and those around you. You never know what they're carrying.
