Details
COVID-19 has had a major impact on the mental health and wellbeing of the nation. There will be cohorts of people that are now unemployed as a result of the pandemic and subsequent recession, whose mental health has been impacted as a result of this who require additional support to get them back into work. Similarly, there will be those in work whose mental health has been impacted by the pandemic through a range of issues including illness or death of a relative, increased anxiety and depression resulting from concerns about the future or the resurgence of pre-existing mental health issues triggered by the pandemic.
Employers are now facing additional challenges in supporting their workforce directly resulting from the pandemic in relation to physical health, including those facing the longer-term impacts of COVID-19 (Long COVID) but also the increased issues being presented resulting from declining mental health and wellbeing.
The Humber Mental Health Training and Development Support Call seek projects which will provide training and support to employers and employees to assist them in managing people with mental health needs.
A linked PA1 Call will provide support to individuals with mental health issues to support them to engage with or re-engage with the labour market.
Investment through IP2.1 will provide support for business to engage in culture change around disclosure of mental health issues, supporting employees and managers to have an increased awareness of how they can support staff and build a culture where health, wellbeing and neurodiversity is valued.
Activities under IP2.2 will include:
Supporting SMEs to build their capacity to provide project / work experience / placement / internship opportunities for people with mental health issues
The preference is for one provider to deliver both 2.1 and 2.2 activities.
