DISPELLING THE STIGMA ATTACHED TO MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS
In the aftermath of the pandemic, many of us will have mixed feelings about returning to work and may have experienced trauma or loss. Therefore, it's important to be ready to start and respond to a mental health conversation. Pladis have partnered with Hospitality Action to raise awareness of mental health in the hospitality industry, recognising the personal and professional challenges people face, and providing support to those who need it.
​
Earlier this year they produced two case study videos. The first features Faye De Souza a sous chef with Compass who experienced a breakdown at a young age. The second features HA Ambassador Mitchell Collyer who shares his experiences of coming to terms with a new life after recovering from a serious illness.
