PSYCHED is a new Mental Health Promotion Award Scheme for Cork Workplaces

PSYCHED stands for Positive Support You Can Have Every Day and this Mental Health Promotion Award Scheme is an initiative of Cork Healthy Cities, supported by the Health Service Executive, University College Cork and Cork City Council. The Award Scheme will celebrate efforts made in workplaces across Cork to support the mental well-being of staff, and is aimed at making Cork a Mental Health Promoting City.

PSYCHED aims to:
1. stimulate conversations in the workplace leading to a better understanding of mental health
2. encourage employers to engage with staff to promote and foster mental health in the workplace
3. celebrate commitment, good practice and innovation in mental health promotion in the workplace.

All participating workplaces will be invited by Lord Mayor Cllr Tony Fitzgerald to a celebration in City Hall in March, when successful applicants will be awarded the 2018 PSYCHED Certificate of Recognition.

We hope you are interested in participating. Application is open to every type of workplace: Sole Trader, Emerging Business, Small-Medium Enterprise, Multinational, Not for Profit and Public Service.
