Tim’s story | Mental Health at Work
“It was a journey I had to go on, of acknowledging that I needed to get help, getting it, facing my fear of what people would think. I am coming through that much stronger, much healthier, much happier.” – Tim Munden, CLO of Unilever.
When Tim realised he was experiencing post-traumatic stress, he reached out for help and became a leading example for those feeling unable to talk about their #MentalHealthAtWork.
Wherever you work, and whatever your role, we all have mental health, and we can all make changes to improve wellbeing in our workplace. Visit www.mentalhealthatwork.org.uk to get started.

We love you for sharing your story Tim
This is my dream manager
Always the clean guys in the suits telling us this nothing changes I work on sites in the Uk and believe me they do not care about your mental health they care about the work and money just like anything else I wouldn’t mind if this video was talking about how they don’t care about us because I’d respect it because it would be the truth
I was rejected last year (2021) from service in the Royal Navy Reserves because I disclosed that in 2016, I was diagnosed with clinical depression.
After 5 months of online training, even visiting the local base, the third party assessor, Capita (a terrible company) decided to reject me on those grounds – I disclosed it from the start so my main contention was that all that time had been wasted
My recruiting officer said it wouldn't be worth appealing because the Navy would just go along with whatever Capita said
Disclaimer – I do understand that the armed forces is somewhat specific in terms of weapon-handling, high-stress situations etc but they could have told me at the start. It was the wasted time – and with that, false hope, that bothered me

Music is distracting, it lowers believebility
one thing that worries me with this is how do u survive financially once diagnosed with a condition if un able to work fulltime or at all
