Mental Health Advocates

Their role is to promote positive mental health and foster a culture of support at A&O.

These 44 partners and senior support professionals are responsible for championing the three pillars of our strategy: developing a culture where we can discuss our mental health and that of those close to us; ensuring support is available to those who need it; and promoting working practices which support positive mental health for all, for example encouraging the use of iFlex.

Most offices have a mental health advocate and, in our London office, there is one for each department. The advocates are supported by HR and will attend mental health awareness training.
