🟡Six full days together in person in Cardiff (one a month, November to April)
🟡Plus 3 online reflective practice sessions

And this matters for the business, too.
Teams that feel genuinely supported take fewer days off sick, stay in their roles longer, and are able to thrive.

We’ve been shortlisted at the Social Enterprise UK awards! Our work has been recognised in the Education, Training and Jobs category.

The awards celebrate social enterprises leading the way in creating positive social and environmental impact.

At Platfform, we work alongside leaders and organisations to create the circumstances to thrive. It starts with culture: building trust, humanising processes, and creating teams where people feel valued and listened to. Our approach is trauma-informed, relational and expert-led, with over 35 years of experience behind it.

And as a social enterprise, income from our work is reinvested to help fund mental health support across Wales and the UK.

A huge thank you to our team, and to every organisation that has worked with us.

Winners are announced on 12 November, so fingers crossed! 🤞

Having our experiences, voices and stories heard, supports our mental health and wellbeing through validation and acknowledgement that we all matter.

Mental health is shaped by people and the world around us.

"I don't think my experience is uncommon."

Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day, and this year's theme is Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change.

In our recent webinar on leadership burnout, Joe Tudor shared his own experience of burnout, and how the pressure he put on himself mattered as much as the pressure around him. As he said, "I don't think my experience is uncommon."

Pete described the day as being about "how we bring lived experience into our thinking, away from being a token gesture and being embedded within our systems thinking."

He also asked: "do we think organisations are still almost waiting for people to burn out before reacting?"

Burnout is often a response to conditions. Pressure shapes behaviour, behaviour shapes culture, and culture shapes performance. So it can't rest on one or two wellbeing champions. It needs to be owned across the organisation.

What does building it in look like?
🟨 Protected time for lunch, reflection and supervision, so not every gap fills up with meetings
🟨 Regular check-ins that aren't about work, especially in remote teams
🟨 Making it safe to say when something hasn't worked, and celebrating when it has
🟨 Keeping an eye on your high performers, not just the people who are visibly struggling
🟨 Giving connection the same priority as targets
🟨 Model openness and honestly

As Pete said, "Looking after people isn't separate from business success, it's integral and it creates those conditions."

Good mental health and wellbeing requires connection with people and community - and validation that you are heard.

Our mental health is shaped by people and the world around us.

💻Have you signed up for tomorrow's webinar about burnout in leadership? We will look at leadership pressures, how burnout can trickle down, affecting teams and performance, and practical approaches to look after yourself.

You might notice it in small ways at first: finding it harder to focus, reactive decision making, or struggling to step back and think clearly. And while it can feel personal, it rarely stays contained. It begins to shape how your organisation feels, functions and performs.

In this webinar we’ll look at:
🟦Ways to look after yourself as a leader and support your teams mental health and wellbeing.
🟦How pressure, culture and behaviours interact and how these shape both people’s experiences at work and wider business outcomes
🟦How to recognise early signs of burnout (in yourself and others), reduce pressure, and create space for more supportive, open conversations

📅 Tomorrow | 10 - 11am

Can’t make it live? Don’t worry, the session will be recorded and shared after the webinar when you sign up.

What a day at the National Education Show last Friday! It was lovely chatting to education staff about the wellbeing support we offer.

Our associate, Osian Leader, psychotherapist and former teacher, also led a session on the root causes of burnout and how to prevent it.

He explored:

🟦What burnout is: when stress goes on for too long, our body gets stuck in "survival mode". Signs include feeling drained, pulling away from others, and doubting ourselves.

🟦What's going on inside: when we're stressed, we tend to react on autopilot instead of responding calmly.

🟦Our relationships within groups: how we can fall into unhelpful patterns, like blaming, over-helping or feeling powerless, and how to shift towards listening, supporting and finding solutions together.

🟦Practical tools: changing "I should" to "I could" to ease the pressure, and swapping an endless to-do list for a shorter list of choices.

🟦Seeing the whole picture: being kinder to ourselves about the past and stepping back to see things more clearly.

If you missed us and want to chat about support for your staff, get in touch.
