Paranimo - Matching Minds for Mental Health

28/02/2024

🏢 Mental health in the workplace is a growing topic, but when was the last time it was discussed in your office?

Without frank and open conversations, pain points and solutions can't be identified. We want to encourage employees, HR consultants and business owners to spark conversations about mental health at work to share ideas and contribute to a healthier workplace for all.

💬 Start the conversation at your workplace.

Providing mental health services in the workplace is seen as an altruistic act, but there is a strong business case behind it too.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 12 BILLION working days, worth $1tn, are lost every year to stress and anxiety 💰

Major banks are upping the number of free therapy sessions they offer, and rolling out mental health training to line managers. The younger generation is more used to mental health support, and sees it as a non-negotiable when considering changing jobs 🤝

By creating a workplace where people don't suffer in silence and proactively seek help, you can reduce absenteeism and presenteeism, deliver projects faster to clients and enjoy a healthier office culture 🌈

Our services are for companies, HR consultants and even individuals. Learn more about how you can access our mental health support services: https://www.paranimo.co.uk/customer-content/marketing-content

Our founder, Matthew Vamplew, started Paranimo because of his own experiences with workplace mental health support.

1️⃣ Matt tried to secure some mental health support during certain periods in their career, which they found to be extremely challenging. The support he needed simply wasn't accessible.

2️⃣ Sufferers of mental health problems tend to have specific problems — they therefore need a specialist who understands their specific problems to be able to help them.

3️⃣ Paranimo exists to connect thousands of different specialists, to the patients who need them. Our approach hinges on providing specialised support for specific mental health problems.

No more trial and error or long waits - get it right the first time with Paranimo 💙 https://lnkd.in/dspNBW2

This month, Mental Health UK said that the 'UK risks being ‘burnt-out nation’ due to poor mental health' 😓

2,060 adults – 1,132 of whom were workers – were polled by YouGov and found that 20% required time off due to poor mental health caused by stress 🚫

HR professionals and departments are not equipped to deal with this growing, endemic problem. Even when resources are available, they're usually 'one-size-fits-all' solutions, which usually fail to provide meaningful help that makes a difference.

That's why Paranimo exists – we empower HR consultants to provide highly effective mental health counselling. Our growing network of specialists can help people with their specific problems, and save businesses money, and provide new revenue streams to HR consultants 💡

The first couple of months of a new year after a much-needed Christmas break can feel abrupt 📉

Waking up before the sun has risen, and working 'til it's dark after a long break can take a toll on anybody, but you can still find small sources of joy, motivation and energy if you try.

☀️ Get as much daylight on your skin as possible to up your Vitamin D levels.
📅 Avoid unrealistic New Year's resolutions to prevent disappointment.
🏃‍♀️ Stay fit! Exercising releases feel-good endorphins in the body.
🤚 Don't worry. Winter Blues are quite normal, and you'll get over it soon.

Embrace the common Winter Blues; you're not alone. Follow our tips, take small steps, and discover a more motivated and energetic you. https://www.paranimo.co.uk/customer-content/content

Today is world mental health day, a day to recognise the importance of positive mental health, as well as reducing the stigma of talking about it and seeking support 🧠
Paranimo was set up with by Matthew Vamplew and Daniel Condliffe due to Matt's own mental health challenges experienced in 2018.

Without talking about it, Paranimo would not be where it is today.

Since then, we have:

- Matched people to hundreds of mental health support sessions through the platform
- Undertaken a pilot study demonstrating 93% of people received the right support with a measurable decrease in anxiety, depression and improved sleep
- Improved accessibility for vulnerable people working with charities and organisations to fund therapy
- Began our journey into the nhs.uk to help improve staff wellbeing

We are doing all this because we believe that everyone should get access to the right mental health support.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey 🙌

From interviews with clients, they comment how confusing it is to choose a therapist on directories when they list every area of expertise. How can they choose!? 🤯

As a therapist, you limit your ability to stand out and work with the types of clients you can help the most.

Ask yourself "who can I help the most"?

Or use a platform that matches the right clients to you, and ensures people looking for support get the right help.

Are you GDPR compliant?

With the increase in online therapy, many therapists still share their personal details and hold client personal details too.

Phone numbers, text messages, emails, voicemails. Unless you have proper processes in place you could be in breach of GDPR regulations.

The Information Commissioner's Office have a great GDPR self assessment tool to work out how at risk you are: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/sme-web-hub/checklists/assessment-for-small-business-owners-and-sole-traders/

Or you could use a third party platform that doesn't require you to hold that information 💪

As we leave lockdown, many therapists will be deciding if they go back to face to face, or if online is here to stay.

A recent study showed that 98% of clients using online said is was "much more convenient".

But is it here to stay?

We saw a beautiful quote and HAD to share for 👇

"Giving birth and being born brings us into the essence of creation, where the human spirit is courageous and bold and the body, a miracle of wisdom" (by Harriette Hartigan)
