Tuesday 9th June; 12pm to 1pm
Virtual Workshop
Over the past decade, mental health challenges among young people have risen dramatically and are increasingly visible. Among those aged 16–34, there has been a notable increase in reported mental health conditions, particularly those that are not work-limiting. This reflects both a growing openness to discuss mental health and a cultural shift that has normalised these conversations, especially among students and graduates.
For employers, this presents both a challenge and an opportunity. Today’s emerging talent is bright, hardworking, and ambitious however to enable them to thrive through competitive recruitment processes and into the workplace, organisations must balance providing meaningful mental health support with the realities of the role.
This workshop will explore the complex factors behind this rise and the unique pressures young people face when transitioning from education into employment. Experts will unpack the causes and manifestations of poor mental health, whilst employers will highlight practical steps they are taking to foster openness, embed mental health awareness, and provide effective support structures
We will also hear individuals’ personal experiences of disclosure, accessing support, and the difference that understanding employers and strong workplace networks can make.
By attending this workshop, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of mental ill health among young people and build the confidence to have supportive, informed conversations with candidates and employees, ensuring they can perform, and thrive, at their best.
