    Championing mental health at work: Emerging practice from innovative projects in the UK
    (Oxford University Press, 2014) Robinson, Mark; Tilford, Sylvia; Branney, Peter
    This paper examines the value of participatory approaches within interventions aimed at promoting mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. Specifically the paper explores data from the thematic evaluation of the Mental Health and Employment project strand within the Altogether Better programme being implemented in England in the Yorkshire and Humber region, which was funded through the BIG Lottery and aimed to empower people across the region to lead better lives. The evaluation combined a systematic evidence review with semi-structured interviews across mental health and employment projects. Drawing on both evaluation elements, the paper examines the potential of workplace-based ‘business champions’ to facilitate organizational culture change within enterprises within a deprived regional socio-economic environment.
