Promoting Mental Health Awareness within the Security Industry
While currently not a condition of SIA licensing,
Safer Minds believes everyone working within the security industry should have some awareness of basic mental health.
ABOUT
"The importance of receiving mental health support is the key to helping a person avoid a life of suffering."
It is undeniable that the security industry can often be a very challenging and stressful place to work, and stress is known to have a significant impact on mental health. Also, stigma within the industry can often been seen as a significant barrier to acknowledging poor mental health, and receiving the treatment and support people need - the security industry is an industry where mental health is rarely discussed, let alone acknowledged! On top of this, people working within the industry often connect with hundreds, if not thousands of others through the course of their work, or home and leisure activities, which makes having a basic understanding of mental health, how to promote positive wellbeing, and how to help and support others, vitally important.
There are so many advantages with having an industry where the majority of its workforce are mental health aware!
Safer Minds: dedicated to raising awareness of mental health within the security industry.
