Breaking the Silence: Enabling Employers to Understand Mental Health is a practical and deeply personal guide to improving mental wellbeing and creating kinder, more supportive workplace cultures.
Drawing on his own experience of living with panic attacks and suffering in silence for many years, David Beeney explores the stigma surrounding mental health and explains why openness, vulnerability and compassion are so important in the workplace.
Combining personal stories with practical strategies, the book shows individuals and organisations how to recognise changes in mental wellbeing, build emotional resilience, have better conversations about mental health and support those who may be struggling. It also examines the vital role leaders play in creating environments where employees feel safe to speak openly without fear of judgement.
Written for business leaders, managers, employees and anyone who wants to improve their own mental wellbeing or support others, Breaking the Silence offers practical tools for self-care, resilience, authentic leadership and the creation of kinder cultures where people can thrive.
That audience is very clearly identified in the book: leaders, employees, people interested in their own mental health, and people wanting to support others.
