Thursday, 4th February is #TimeToTalk day to support mental health, and we're supporting it by organising a Randomised Coffee Trial during February.
Sign up to the Randomised Coffee Trial using the form below and we'll randomly* match you up with someone else. You can then arrange a good time to have a chat with them. This could be over the phone, over Microsoft Teams, or perhaps arrange to go for a walk outside. The suggested time is half an hour, but even a small conversation can make a big difference.
It's a good way to promote your own mental wellbeing, talk about how you’re feeling, and feel more connected, but they can also help to give you a better idea of what goes on in other teams and what their challenges are, meet new people, build relationships, share learning and build community. What you talk about is up to you, and it doesn’t even necessarily need to be work-related.
Grab a hot drink and get talking! (biscuits or cake optional, but highly recommended).
You can either use the form, or simply contact Jason Curtis in the Shrewsbury Health Library (01743 492511 or extension 2511) with your details.
* May not be entirely random, as we’ll try to make sure your coffee partner is from a different team
