Mental ill health remains one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, but too often, we fail to address it, talk about it, or invest in preventing it. One Million Lives is a tool developed by Jacobs, designed as a countermeasure to tackle mental ill health and secure wellbeing. By doing either a full or daily check-in every day, week or month, you are able to test the state of your mental health and understand the steps required to improve it. Furthermore, the tool can be used by members outside of Jacobs including family and friends.

    However, One Million Lives is not intended to be a substitute for professional care. If you are struggling or suspect you are suffering from any mental health or other medical conditions, please seek immediate help from your doctor, local health service, or one of the organisations:

    Emergency Services: 999
    Samaritans: 116 123
    Hope Line UK: 0800 068 41 41
    Shout (Text Only): 85258

    Many of our own Jacobs employees here in Leeds are Positive Mental Health Champions, whilst they are not professionals, they are always happy for you to talk in confidence about your mental health and wellbeing without judgement.

    Jacobs Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is a free and confidential service available to all employees which provides counselling, legal and financial advice. This can be accessed 24/7 by phone on 0800 282 193, or using this link Optum.]]>     2023-03-06 13:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jacobsnewsletterleeds/1slew6cefn86rcp7/wish/2505193032     Air Ambulance Initiative lakhwindersingh1 https://padlet.com/jacobsnewsletterleeds/1slew6cefn86rcp7/wish/2539712161 If you have begun Spring cleaning and have unwanted clothes, please take this opportunity to bring in items of clothing and shoes that you no longer need.

These charities rely on donations to operate their air ambulance, providing speedy transfers and high quality care in critical situations. 
    Donations are welcome between now and the 4th of  April. Place your items in bags and bring them in to one of our collection points, our colleagues on reception will be able to direct you where to leave them.
