We are delighted to welcome “Ellie” of the Elephant In The Room Movement to workLAB for the month of November. workLAB is one of 12 local Waterford businesses who are playing host to Ellie as she moves around Waterford to promote the Elephant In The Room Movement.
This initiative is a global movement, founded by Brent Pope, which focuses on bringing greater understanding and raising awareness about the importance of speaking out about mental health! #elephantintheroom
This initiative aims to create robust discussions about mental health, helping to break down barriers and reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues. Mental health at work is a priority and with our participation in Elephant In The Room Movement, we hope that we can show greater awareness, understanding, compassion and empathy around issues we often feel difficult to discuss, with people empowered to improve their own wellbeing by talking about their mental health openly and honestly.
Special mention to Caoilfhionn Hanton, an amazing local artist, who painted Ellie with a Waterford inspired theme.
