2Excel Aviation supports Mental Health Awareness Week

2Excel Aviation raises awareness of Mental Health issues through its team of trained Mental Health First Aiders.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week. We have committed to increasing our numbers of trained Mental Health First Aiders across our company and were delighted when 21 people volunteered for training, which has been completed over the past year.

Group HR Director, Louise Campbell, said: “Any steps we can take as a business to increase awareness around mental health helps improve understanding and reduce stigma, and our First Aiders have undergone specific training to equip them to spot the signs and be a point of contact for those who may need some help, offering non-judgemental support and guidance towards more specialised help.

“Our Mental Health First Aiders all put themselves forward for the training, and we would like to thank them for taking on this role. Early intervention assists greatly with early recovery and increases workforce resilience. It also nurtures a healthy and positive environment for our employee-owners.”
