Mott MacDonald
Returning to work after a career break can feel overwhelming, but it can also be exactly what you need as well as benefitting the business you join. After five years away from the workforce to raise her children, Mariam Thomas returned with a renewed sense of purpose and a heap of transferable skills. Today Mariam is thriving as a project manager in our nuclear team where she helps to deliver complex programmes that support the UK’s transition to low carbon energy. In a new blog, Mariam shares what it was really like to come back to a career in STEM and why a flexible and inclusive culture like ours is key to helping more people restart and grow their careers. If you’ve been thinking about returning to work, this might be the sign you were looking for. Read Mariam’s story here: https://mottm.ac/4326ZyH

Let’s spark conversations and make small changes that lead to big impact. 💬 📥 Visit our website to download the guide and start the conversation: https://lnkd.in/eUMXCNVT #SpeakingWithoutStigma #MentalHealthAwareness #TurningPoint #WorldMentalHealthDay #EndStigma

💚 We're delighted to launch our new Mental Health Framework (2025 – 2030) - Together We Thrive: Building a Community for Mental Health. This framework sets out our vision for the next five years, focusing on how we can continue to support the mental health and wellbeing of our patients and families across GOSH, alongside their physical health. It builds on some excellent models that we already have in place throughout GOSH, and brings together best practice, experience and innovation - making sure we're responding to the mental health needs of our patients. Our Chief Nurse, Tracy Luckett said: "By embedding mental health into everything we do, this framework reflects our shared commitment to providing the best possible care and recognises that we must care for the whole of our patients, not just treating them physically, but emotionally and psychologically too." 🔎 Find out more about our Mental Health Framework here: https://lnkd.in/eKJjrqD5

Menopause symptoms impact workplace experiences, yet conversations are often avoided. When people experiencing menopause feel seen and supported, it benefits them as well as the business. This #MenopauseInTheWorkplaceDay, we are excited to share our global Menopause Pledge Initiative which ensures that all Astellas employees understand what menopause is, and its potential impact, so that we can overcome the stigma and stop the culture of silence. Find out more below on how to start a conversation with your colleagues. #menopause #WomensHealth

'When therapy respects culture, it becomes a site of liberation.' This #SouthAsianHeritageMonth, UKCP psychotherapist Tina Chummun explores why culturally competent psychotherapy matters. In her blog, Tina reflects on: - cultural silence and inherited trauma - the barriers to accessing care - how culturally-attuned therapy helps clients speak more openly about their feelings and experiences. She invites fellow therapists to think deeply about the importance of cultural frameworks that different communities navigate from. 📚 Read her blog on our website: https://lnkd.in/erfTnseX #SAHM #MentalHealth #CulturalCompetence #Psychotherapy
