While the activities are focused on the awareness week, the organisation has emphasised its year-round commitment to staff wellbeing.

NHS Ayrshire & Arran is the first health board in Scotland to establish dedicated Staff Wellbeing Centres, which are located at University Hospitals Crosshouse, University Hospital Ayr, and Ayrshire Central Hospital.

The centres provide all clinical and non-clinical staff with calm, non-clinical spaces to relax, decompress, and recharge during the working day.

Services on offer include spiritual care, staff psychology, staff care, peer support, and medical peer support.

Tracy Scott, staff wellbeing lead for NHS Ayrshire & Arran, said: “We have a range of activities available to staff during Mental Health Awareness week.

“There are session on taking care of ourselves, spiritual care for staff, wellbeing for working parents, mental health matters, stress awareness, meditation, supporting financial wellbeing, supporting yourself and each other.

“These initiatives recognise that our mental wellbeing is influenced by a wide range of factors, including emotional, physical, spiritual and financial health.”
