This month as part of ‘Mindfulness March’ we
will be centring our activity around how you
can improve wellbeing, how you can enhance
focus and concentration & how you can
develop skills to manage stressful situation
more effectively.

We have also appointed 30 Mental Health First Aiders across the Group who will listen in
confidence and signpost employees should they require further support.

CATHERINE WAYNE I am a Mental Health First aider first and foremost because I believe mental
health is as important as physical health, and needs to be looked after in the
Catherine.Wayne@shs-sales.co.uk same way. I am happy to provide support to anyone who feels they need it to
manage their mental wellbeing, either work or non-work related.
07801 383584 I have experience of mental health issues and know how getting the right
support can make a positive difference, to you and also to those around you.
I work within the GB division of the SHS Group and have done so for
over 14 years, in that time I have worked within various commercial CHARLOTTE MORRIS-JINKS
teams and more recently the secretarial team, I’m a mother of two girls
who describe me as funny, caring and annoying! I wanted to become a Charlotte.Morris-Jinks@shs-sales.co.uk
MHFA to offer support and resources to not only work colleagues but
friends and family. The past year has been challenging for everyone 07834237015
and more than ever I believe mental health is a subject we should all be
comfortable discussing without judgment.
I am a crazy cat lady in the making who enjoys getting out and about to
EMMA GREEN practice photography and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I aim to live life
positively through body and mind. I became a mental health first aider because
emma.green@shs-sales.co.uk it can affect 1 in 4 of us and 1 in 6 of us report experiencing a common mental
health problem (like anxiety and depression) in any given week (according to
07881296618 the charity Mind). Metal health is close to my heart through personal
experience and being able to support others through their dark times means
the world to me.
I was really keen to get involved with the Mental Health First Aider role, AMY OVERBURY
mental health is something that I support with day to day in my personal life.
The opportunity to support others was appealing to me as I’m aware of the Amy.Overbury@shs-sales.co.uk
importance of good mental health and wellbeing first hand. I keep my own
mental health well by crafting and having a creative outlet crocheting. 07815427305

Mental Health is something very close to my heart, due to personal
JESSICA SMITH experiences and supporting family/friends. I’m always keen to expand this
circle and support more people, so I was excited at being given the
jessica.smith@shs-sales.co.uk opportunity to do so. Good mental wellbeing doesn’t mean you’re always
happy or unaffected by your experiences. We all have bad days and it’s ok not
07056572456 to be ok! I would like to say I can be here for anyone that needs to chat. My go
to activities when I’m having a down day are walks and weight training!
