08 AUTUMN PROTECT NEWSLETTER Prevention Day, when organisations across the globe come together to spread awareness and provide support in aid of reducing suicide. According to the Office for National Statistic (ONS) there were 5,642 suicides in the UK in 2022, with approximately three quarters (74.1%) of these being men. Industry figures have spoken out as to what we can do to be a part of this initiative. There are a number of elements to this but the main ones are prevention, employee resilience, intervention and rehabilitation. Employee resilience elements are focussed on offering health and wellbeing programmes that promote a healthy lifestyle, good sleep hygiene and fitness. It also highlighted the importance of mental health first aiders and signposting employee assistance programmes to provide support for those who need it. One of the many innovations in our Industry for the good over the past 40 years has been the growth of such elements available in Individual Life Policies as well as those with Group Risk and Group Health products. We should not forget that these can provide a vital part of wellbeing which can lead to prevention too. So....I hope you have had a successful 9 months of the year so far, and Thank You for your continued support of Paradigm Protect. As always if there is anything we can do to help please get in touch.
