As part of its ongoing support to the trade, and in line with Mental Health Awareness Week (from May 18 to 24) StoneHawk reaffirms its complimentary support with the provision of further webinars on security awareness, direct mental health/well-being to support business owners and staff as the return to work continues.
StoneHawk was founded in 2017 to provide bespoke armed robbery prevention training and security reviews to brands in the UK and Ireland. Simon Wilson, MD of StoneHawk, pictured, says: ‘The primary role of StoneHawk protecting the trade against smash and grab crime is still very much there, however, StoneHawk is ever-present and supports those in the industry that are in need of mental and emotional support. StoneHawk is not just a crimefighting organisation, it is very much in touch with the humane side of the trade and as such actively plays a key role in not-for-profit activity with authorities in the mental health and well-being field.
Due to the high number of staff that leave work or are negatively affected due to the trauma associated with robbery crime, the conversation and support in this emotive area has always been acknowledged by StoneHawk. Daniel Darwin is providing the mental health/well-being complimentary support and guidance.
Daniel Darwin, Mental Health Consultant at StoneHawk says: ‘These are scary and anxious times for us all. Therefore, looking after your mental health has become even more important. We cannot deny that we will are returning to a world that is very much changed to the one before lockdown. We will have to accept that Covid-19, even with as many measures and precautions put in place will not be slipping quietly into the goodnight any time soon, people will be exposed to it during their commute to/from work and in their workplace.
‘Training key employees as mental health first aiders offers part of a longer-term approach strategy to support their colleagues in the workplace and sign posting them to relevant support services and promoting a positive culture towards mental health.’
