BREAK THE STIGMA: MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK AT LSP RENEWABLES!
At LSP Renewables, Mental Health Awareness Week isn’t just a calendar event, it’s a reminder of our year-round commitment to creating an inclusive, compassionate workplace where people feel seen, heard, and valued.
In the renewable energy sector, known for its fast-paced, high-performance environments, emotional wellbeing is vital. We believe that mental health deserves the same attention and care as physical health, both at work and beyond.
Why Mental Health at Work Matters
One in four people will experience a mental health issue each year in the UK, according to Mind UK. Conditions such as stress, anxiety, and depression can affect anyone, regardless of role or seniority. That’s why organisations must take proactive steps to foster a psychologically safe and supportive working culture.
At LSP, we recognise that performance and wellbeing go hand in hand. Supporting the mental health of our people isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s essential to a sustainable and thriving workforce.
A Culture of Care and Connection
We believe mental wellbeing begins with a workplace culture grounded in inclusion, empathy, and open dialogue. Whether it’s a simple check-in or taking time to listen without judgement, we encourage our team to look out for each other.
"Creating a workplace where people feel safe, supported, and empowered is something we take seriously. Mental Health Awareness Week is a great reminder of the small things we can all do to show care and compassion. At LSP Renewables, our people are our priority, not just in their roles, but in their whole wellbeing."
– Kathryn Scorer, Operations Director
