Bank Workers Charity: The truth about addiction

Event details

This subject may be triggering. So we do suggest you have wellbeing support on hand should you need it.

As our understanding of addiction grows, encompassing substances like alcohol and drugs, as well as behavioural addictions such as internet use or workaholism, our focus extends to the numerous expressions of addictive behaviours.

Recent statistics highlight the pervasive and global nature of addiction, underscoring the pressing need for greater awareness and support.

We've teamed up with the Bank Workers Charity to look at the effects of addiction in the workplace, the impacts on professional environments and individuals' overall wellbeing. This session aims not only to impart valuable insights into the prevalence of addiction but also to present strategies that nurture a more open and supportive workplace environment.
