Eden NE marked World Mental Health Day (an annual mental health awareness day held on 10th October) by holding a company-wide mental health awareness session. The theme for World Mental Health Day 2026, set by the World Federation for Mental Health, is “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices Real Change”. At the awareness session we reflected on what we can learn from the stories of those who have experience of living with mental health conditions. We discussed how we can use this information to shape our company mental health support, to assist employees in maintaining good mental health, or accessing the correct support should they suffer with poor mental health.

Eden NE has a strong focus on supporting the mental wellbeing of its employees. The company has: access to an employee assistance programme; a Director with responsibility for wellbeing; an appointed mental health advisor and dedicated resources for staff wellbeing. The company holds regular mental health awareness sessions and actively encourages staff to be involved in developing how the company can support its employees with their wellbeing.
