While men and women have similar rates of mental health conditions overall, women face specific challenges around mental health in the workplace. Some are tied to gender roles and stereotypes, and some are intersectional in nature.

Women are more prone to certain diagnoses and are twice as likely as men to experience depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD. Pay inequity, caregiving responsibilities, and gender-based violence are among the contributing risk factors to common mental health conditions. Infertility, menopause, and postpartum depression also affect many.

Women will face these issues throughout their working life whilst juggling full or part time work, and therefore it is essential that effective support is in place in the workplace. Here we will look at ways to ensure this.

We will be joined by Mid and North East Essex Mind who will deliver the training, and hear from someone with the lived experience. It's sure to be an excellent session not to be missed.

What is Purple 365?

Purple 365 is a disability training and development programme for organisations and their staff. Registered organisations get access to a monthly webinar on a different disability related topic, a learning resource, bitesized overview video, certificate of learning and more.

We have opened this particular Purple 365 webinar to the public as it is a hugely important topic, and a good way to get a feel for the programme. If you would like to know more about Purple 365 and how to get involved, click here
