Why World Mental Health Day 2025 Matters to Kusten Vorland.

We’ll be marking World Mental Health Day, a global day that reminds us that good mental health is something we all have, and something we can all look after together.

The theme for World Mental Health Day 2025 is “Access to Services- Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies”. It highlights the importance of ensuring everyone, everywhere, can reach the support they need, even in the most challenging times.

Here at Kusten Vorland, we know that support starts with simple, everyday actions. That’s why we’ll be hosting a “Tea & Talk” session in our kitchen. It’s a chance to step away from busy work schedules, share a cup of tea (and some cake!), and take a few moments to chat and connect.

🍰 What is “Tea & Talk”?

“Tea & Talk” is all about starting conversations, because talking about how we feel can make a real difference. Sometimes it’s hard to open up, and that’s where our conversation starter cards come in.

We’ll have a selection of fun and thoughtful questions to get the conversation flowing:

🫖 How are you feeling today?
🍪 What biscuits go best with a cup of tea?
🎶 What’s your favourite song and why?
🌿 What do you do to reduce stress?
☀️ What have you enjoyed about today?
💬 Is there anything you want to talk about?

You can use the cards in pairs, small teams, or larger groups, wherever people are chatting together. The aim isn’t to take turns formally, but to share naturally, listen, and enjoy a relaxed space to talk.

💚 Why We’re Doing This

Conversations like these might seem simple, but they help build connection, empathy, and understanding all vital for positive mental wellbeing. Whether we’re talking about something light-hearted or something more personal, every chat counts.

Taking time to listen to one another strengthens our sense of community and reminds us that we’re not alone in how we feel.

So, let’s enjoy some tea, cake, and good company and make time to talk.

Because sometimes, the smallest conversations can make the biggest difference.

🌿 Our Ongoing Commitment to Wellbeing

At Kusten Vorland, we believe that supporting mental health isn’t just about one day, it’s about creating a culture of care all year round.

Through initiatives like Tea & Talk, wellbeing training, and continued engagement with resources such as the HSE’s Working Minds campaign, we’re committed to building an open, supportive environment where every colleague feels valued and heard.

Whether it’s managing workplace risks like asbestos exposure or addressing stress and fatigue, our goal is always the same, to protect people and promote wellbeing in every sense.

💬 Let’s Keep the Conversation Going

As we continue our work to make environments safer and healthier, let’s remember that wellbeing extends beyond physical safety.
