Over 11,000 students benefit from mental health awareness

Isle Listen and Zurich International have had a successful year promoting positive mental health in schools.

Their program to promote positive mental health and wellbeing in schools across the Island has already reached out to more than 11,000 students through assemblies, PSHE lessons and workshops.

Isle Listen Chief Executive, Andrea Chambers, says the lasting impact is that young people with greater capacity for learning and emotional resilience will have improved transitions into the workplace. 

The collaboration also means a selection of Zurich employees are being trained as Mental Health First Aiders, which they've said is a massive benefit.
