Community Workshops

Throughout 2022, a series of three impactful mental health workshops were organised and executed. These workshops, while not boasting high attendance figures, garnered tremendous positive feedback from participants, leaving a lasting impact on all those who attended. The workshops were funded through Mental Health & Learning Disability Winter Pressures Grant to the value of £3318.60.

The workshops held online and face to face during April – June 2022, served as an enlightening exploration of various mental health topics, creating a safe and supportive environment for attendees to engage in open and honest discussions. Despite the relatively modest turnout, the workshop managed to captivate participants with its informative presentations, interactive activities, and thought-provoking group discussions. The feedback received after the workshop was overwhelmingly positive, with attendees expressing their deep appreciation for the valuable insights gained and the compassionate approach of the facilitators.

The workshops focused on practical strategies for managing stress and enhancing mental well-being. The workshop provided practical tools and techniques to cope with everyday stressors and foster resilience, leaving participants feeling empowered and equipped to tackle their mental health challenges. The enthusiastic feedback received from these individuals highlighted the workshop's effectiveness in addressing their specific needs and concerns.

Although the attendance figures for these mental health workshops may not have been as high as anticipated, the remarkable feedback received attests to their resounding success. The positive testimonials from participants serve as a testament to the transformative impact of these workshops, illustrating how even a modestly-sized audience can benefit greatly from the valuable insights and practical strategies shared. The commitment to fostering a supportive environment and providing meaningful content throughout these workshops ultimately resulted in the empowerment and enhanced mental well-being of all those involved.

Social Media Reach

During the workshops, several social media campaigns were held to raise awareness of the events and also to raise awareness of Pwrpas. For the three events alone the response was 218 social media click throughs from 31,950 post views.

Social media reach for the year 2022 was 62,282 with 1400 individual page views. Posts were targeted at events such as Mental Health Awareness week as well as training sessions that were running.

Sponsorship

Pwrpas sponsor events in male dominated areas such as car enthusiasts. This include Baxden Car Breakers as well as local car derby events. Pwrpas sponsored Rory Hinckly Racing to take part in the 2023 Total Karting Zero and CLUB100 championships.

Training Courses

During the course of the year, a total of 19 comprehensive half-day mental health awareness courses were meticulously designed and expertly delivered to individuals working in male-dominated industries, particularly within the manufacturing sector. These courses targeted the specific needs and challenges faced by men in these industries, aiming to create a supportive and inclusive environment where mental health concerns could be openly addressed and valuable knowledge could be imparted.

The courses proved to be an immense success, attracting significant attendance and leaving an indelible impact on the participants. Attendees from renowned companies such as Marlin Industries and JCB, totalling an impressive count of 475 men, actively engaged in these enlightening sessions. Their enthusiastic participation and receptiveness to the subject matter served as a testament to the growing recognition of the importance of mental health within traditionally male-dominated workplaces.

Throughout these courses, participants were provided with a platform to share their personal stories, fostering an atmosphere of vulnerability and trust. Many attendees bravely shared their experiences both during and after the sessions, effectively dismantling the stigma surrounding mental health issues within these industries. The act of sharing personal narratives not only facilitated empathy and understanding among the participants but also served as a catalyst for positive change in the workplace culture. These stories highlighted the real-life challenges faced by individuals and showcased the resilience and strength required to overcome them.

The content of the courses was thoughtfully curated to address the unique mental health concerns prevalent in male-dominated industries. By focusing on practical strategies and techniques, the courses equipped participants with the tools necessary to identify and manage their own mental well-being effectively. Key topics explored during the sessions included stress management, work-life balance, resilience-building, and the significance of seeking help when needed. The sessions were designed to be interactive, incorporating group discussions, case studies, and interactive exercises to promote active engagement and enhance the learning experience.

The impact of these mental health awareness courses extended beyond the immediate attendees. The knowledge and insights gained were disseminated throughout the respective companies, influencing workplace practices and fostering a more supportive and inclusive culture. The ripple effect of these courses is expected to continue, as participants become advocates for mental health within their organizations and champion the importance of prioritizing well-being.

The remarkable success of these courses can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the dedication and expertise of the facilitators, the relevance and quality of the content delivered, and the willingness of the participants to embrace the discussions and actively participate. The high attendance numbers from Marlin Industries and JCB further illustrate the growing recognition and commitment to promoting mental health within these companies.

In conclusion, the delivery of 19 impactful half-day mental health awareness courses to men in male-dominated industries, specifically within manufacturing, exemplifies a significant milestone in the ongoing journey towards destigmatizing mental health and fostering well-being. The strong attendance figures, totalling 475 participants from Marlin Industries and JCB, and the subsequent sharing of personal stories attest to the profound impact these courses have had on the individuals involved. By empowering men to prioritize their mental well-being and creating a culture that embraces open dialogue, these courses have paved the way for positive transformation within these traditionally male-dominated workplaces.
