Mental Health Resilience

We are seeking to partner with a mental health specialist over a two year contract to develop and deliver a sustainable programme of development and support for staff within Jisc in the areas of mental health and emotional resilience. Our aims are to:

We have developed an outline plan for this programme which we are using as the basis for this ITQ.

Module 1

A one hour masterclass overview of mental health and resilience, aimed at all staff, which would be recorded and used by Jisc on an ongoing basis.

Module 2

Workshops for people managers to cover; having conversations about mental health, recognising warning signs, understanding how to tackle performance and mental health, knowledge of the wider support available. We envisage these workshops to be for 12 to 16 delegates at a time, between 2 and 3 hours long, repeated 6 times a year, with options for face to face (at any of our hubs) as well as online delivery.

Module 3

A semi-bespoke workshop for high performing teams and/or teams which have been identified as requiring support with Mental Health and emotional resilience issues. These team resilience workshops should focus on enabling the teams to develop the skills to support themselves and each other moving forward. These would be half day, face to face workshops, preceded by a one hour meeting with a manager and key stakeholders to identify specific needs and outcomes. We would plan to run these on demand by agreement with the team and our partner at any of our hubs.
