The Healthy Workplace Networking Seminar on 17 May will incorporate the launch of the new national Healthy Workplace website by Hildegarde Naughton, TD, Minister for Public Health, Wellbeing and National Drugs Strategy.

The new website will provide information and resources to support workplaces to implement health and wellbeing initiatives in their organisations. The event will showcase good practice and will feature case studies from some of the recent winners of workplace wellbeing awards.

UCC’s Dr Jane Bourke will present her findings from a recent study on ‘Mental Health and Wellbeing in Irish Firms’, while Dr Noel Richardson will present an overview of the CAIRDE project. This workplace suicide prevention programme aims to reduce suicide stigma, improve suicide literacy and enhance intention to seek/offer help among construction workers in Ireland.
