This Network Event was hosted at Amazon’s London office in June 2024, in partnership with MindForward Alliance. MindForward Alliance is, like EIDA, a membership organisation, and works with employers to create mentally healthy workplaces. They see the severe and long-term impacts of domestic abuse in their work. Notably, around 60% of those in therapy are also experiencing domestic abuse.
The event centred on the question:
Can we learn from the way employers have gone about transforming workplace mental health as we develop and implement effective workplace responses to domestic abuse?
We heard from experts in the fields of law and health, and with lived experience of domestic abuse, and shared ideas on how support for those impacted by domestic abuse can form part of the broader wellbeing strategy.
Our Network events are a great opportunity to connect with other employers, share learnings from your organisational experience, ask questions, and engage with a community of people all dedicated to tackling domestic abuse, supporting survivors and creating workplaces where people can thrive.
We also welcomed Hestia to announce the recipients of the Everyone’s Business Award, in recognition of employers that have demonstrated exceptional leadership to tackle domestic abuse.
MindForward Alliance is a leading global not-for-profit membership organisation transforming workplace culture into one that supports the mental health of its employees. They use best practices from around the world to offer a range of tools and services to support businesses create mentally healthy workplaces.
