Supporting each other in the Avenues community

Friday 16th of May 2025

Inspired by Mental Health Awareness Week, Avenues is encouraging people to support each other and reminding people of the benefits of being part of the Avenues community

This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week, an initiative by the Mental Health Foundation, is focused on ‘Community’. Inspired by their theme Avenues has designed posters that will be put up in our offices around the country, with the positive message that supporting each other can make us happier and healthier individuals .

Poster shows: Two purple stick figures one reaching out a helping hand for the other to climb up a step. Poster Reads: Supporting each other. When we as individuals show our support for each other, we strengthen and balance our community, and are collectively happier. It can be a small gesture like making someone a cup of tea or listeniing without judgement so they can express their doubts, worries or fears. If you need extra support, Avenues has Mental Health ChamRions who are here to help. They are all trained volunteers who will listen to you, and be able to offer confidential guidance and help. For information about the Champions and other support available at Avenues (including the independent Employee Assistance Programme), visit the Wellbeing Hub on the HR section of MyAvenues.

The posters have been developed by the Communications department in conjunction with Avenues’ Day Wells, leading mental health and mindfulness practitioner and advocate.

The posters also remind Avenues employees of the Mental Health Champions at who are available in the organisation across our offices in each subsidiary. They are trained in providing support and guidance. In addition to Mental Health Champions, Avenues has a Employee Assistance Programme which includes a free 24 hour Counselling phone line and regular mindfulness sessions which staff can join.
