Mental Health Initiative for Public Affairs Practitioners
Together with the Institute of Psychoanalysis, and in association with the PRCA and the APPC, Nikki da Costa will launch a fund to provide high quality initial support to young people in the public affairs industry on World Mental Health Day, Monday 10th October.
The Public Affairs sector is stimulating and highly rewarding, but it’s also challenging, mentally demanding, and highly pressured. And for many this takes its toll. According to the PRCA and PR Week, 1 in 3 in the PR industry have suffered from mental ill health, yet, less than half of us would be comfortable talking about our mental health with a colleague or line manager.
Motivated by her own experiences, and of those around her, da Costa wanted to do something to address this and has pledged to commit 10% of her profits each year to mental health: to reduce the stigma and to help young practitioners access the best mental health provision possible, without ending up on a long NHS waiting list.
