I’m writing my first blog today as a complete blog novice but as someone who is hugely passionate about what this new project can do for the hair industry.
Firstly thank you for even getting this far and reading this blog. I‘m Will, owner of Will Brown Hair and I have recently opened up to thousands of people online about the Mental Health issues I have suffered with for my whole life. Having been as honest and as frank, as I could be, I have received an outpouring of support and appreciation from our clients and the general public.
My message was clear; You can still be ‘successful’ whilst battling everyday Mental Health issues. But to heal you MUST open up.
With the help of Oly Newton, I am embarking on a new journey which is going to push Mental Health First Aid training to all salons. I am convinced that salons and barbers are at the forefront of society when it comes to open conversations. However, I believe there is a severe lack of understanding when it comes down to reading the signs our clients are giving us. It is down to us to learn the skills and tools to provide sound and reasonable advice to those who need it most. It may just save a life!
As a businessman, I am passionate about the well-being of those around me and my team. We must have happy, healthy and positive places of work.
Awareness + Education = Change. We WILL deliver this message across the UK and ensure this training is provided to ALL hair professionals. We will not rest until UK hair professionals have these tools!
