A Lord Mayor’s Big Curry Lunch 10th Anniversary Satellite Event In Aid of ABF The Soldiers Charity (registered charity No1146420) 6pm for 6.30pm on Thursday 30 March 2017 St Stephen Walbrook, City of London, EC4N 4BN.
Mental ill health touches every one of us in one way or another. Whether personally, professionally or through friends and family. One in six UK adults experienced episodes related to a common mental disorder in the past week. The damage that can be caused from out-of-control stress, anxiety, eating disorders, OCD, panic attacks, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression - a by no means an exhaustive list - is never too far away from us.
Following the recent launch of the first Institute of Directors Mental Health Strategy, IoD City is proud to bring together leading authorities and the pioneers of workplace mental health programmes to share their experience, insights and wellbeing guidance with our members and guests. St Stephen Walbrook, our host venue for the evening, is also the birthplace of Samaritans, the charity set up by Chad Varah over sixty years ago to provide listening and emotional support for people in distress.
Our Speakers:
