Mental Health and Wellbeing Steering Group
Mental Health and Wellbeing Steering Group
Page Updated: 18th July 2022
One of the EDI Strategic Action Plan objectives is to promote a culture of dignity, respect and wellbeing for all, and eliminate all forms of discrimination. As a result of this action the Mental Health and Wellbeing Steering Group was established in April 2021. The group will support the development and implementation of a clear framework around mental health and wellbeing for employees in UCD. This framework will be based on the See Change Six Step Workplace Programme with UCD working towards signing-up to the See Change Pledge. The Steering Group will provide input into the development of the framework based on their expertise and experiences.
