The 15 minute video above, presented by Vanessa Sallows, benefits and governance director at Legal and General, and mental health advocate Clarke Carlisle, covers:

  • Campaigns such as Your ‘Not A Red Card’ campaign and others have aimed to raise the profile of mental health and the benefits of talking to someone when issues arise. Why do you think it’s become such a topical issue this year?
  • Research shows that employers greatly overestimate how many employees feel comfortable discussing mental health with a manager or superior. What do you think causes this disconnect?
  • What actions can employers take to manage the disconnect?
  • Why do you think men are more reluctant to acknowledge and discuss mental health issues than women?
  • Isn’t the danger that campaigns focused on raising awareness of mental health lead to increased demand on the NHS and make it even harder for people to get help when they need it?
  • How can group income protection help?
  • Why is this something that employers should be concerned about?
