Webinar - Parent and child mental health support: A workplace essential?
04 February 2025
A 40-min webinar for HR and Line Managers, in partnership with Teladoc Health.

About this event
Untreated mental health problems during childhood or adolescence can lead to a multitude of problems in adulthood; from impaired mental health and lower life satisfaction, to poorer health-related quality of life.*
Access to appropriate support in childhood could reduce mental health problems in the early years, minimising and even preventing developmental outcomes in adulthood.*
Colin Preece, Clinical Head of Mental Health, and Alessandra Sorrentino-Lawrence, Clinical Psychologist, join us to:
- Explore the ways in which untreated mental health problems in childhood and adolescence can affect adulthood.
- Discuss the impact on parents of a child with mental health problems.
- Share, through Generali UK’s Group Income Protection claims experience – along with Teladoc Health’s support service experience – the impact on employees and employers.
- Learn how to ensure employees are aware of, and accessing, relevant support that is probably already available to them via their workplace benefits.
