Christian responses to the UK mental health crisis

In the UK, private sector employers lose £43–46 billion each year to poor workplace mental health, from a combination of sickness absence, presenteeism, and costs associated with workforce turnover. In 2022 CCLA launched the Corporate Mental Health Benchmark which ranks 101 UK-listed companies on their approach to workplace mental health into one of five performance tiers.

In Christianity, hope is a Big Deal, and drawing upon a biblical perspective on mental health can give comfort and guidance to those who are struggling.

CCLA and Stewardship invite you to an evening with partner charities to hear inspiring stories showcasing the outreach activities of two organisations:

• Renew Wellbeing helps churches open spaces of welcome and inclusion in partnership with mental health teams to improve mental and emotional wellbeing.
• Friendship Lab empowers adults to build thriving friendships through evidence-based courses, training, and media engagement, addressing the loneliness crisis

Tickets are free of charge and spaces are limited. Drinks and nibbles provided. Please consider who you could invite to hear more about the important work of these organisations.

We hope to see you there!
