Mental health significantly impacts employee performance and retention, particularly in healthcare. South London and Maudsley are committed to prioritising the mental wellbeing of our staff by offering resources like confidential counselling, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), and mental health first aid training.

As we celebrate Black History Month, we take this opportunity to recognise the significant contributions of Black colleagues within our Trust . This year’s theme, Reclaiming Narratives , encourages us to uplift and amplify the stories and experiences of individuals that have often been overlooked or untold.
