Overcoming Barriers to Mental Health Support in the Workplace
This roundtable will open a vital discussion about the barriers many games industry employers face to implementing positive mental health and wellbeing practices. The types of organisations that make up our fast-paced industry are so diverse that there is no "one size fits all" approach to getting mental health support at work right. This fosters an environment in which leaders will often struggle alone to support the mental health of their teams, not knowing how to overcome barriers including finances, time, personnel, and more. Opening up an honest discussion about these barriers, and sharing best practice on how to overcome them, will ensure attendees leave with practical actions to level up their workplace wellbeing.
Session Takeaway
- Understand the barriers to implementing mental health support faced by organisations across the games industry.
- Gain insight into methods to overcome these barriers, with best practice and recommendations that can be flexible to suit your organisational make-up.
- Connect with industry peers to understand that you're not alone in facing these challenges: this is an opportunity to learn from others and share your insights in a supportive, facilitated environment.
- Leave with actionable goals to improve mental health support in your company.
