Brew Monday 2025
In early February, Colloide launched its first Brew Monday. A programme designed to encourage staff support. Taking place on the first Monday of each month, this event actively encourages staff to meet for a tea break and engage in meaningful conversations with colleagues. By highlighting the importance of regular interaction, Brew Monday creates a dynamic platform for staff. It allows them to connect, share experiences, and offer mutual support, especially during challenging times. Colloide shows its commitment to maintaining a strong support network for all team members, strengthening our promise to their wellbeing.
The Meaning and Importance of Brew Monday
The charity Samaritans launched an initiative called Brew Monday, drawing inspiration from the infamous Blue Monday in January—traditionally termed as the year’s most depressing day. Instead, they’ve transformed this into a chance for connection and conversation. The Samaritans actively acknowledge that mental health challenges aren’t restricted to a single day. They advocate for the crucial recognition that feelings of sadness or struggle can emerge at any time, irrespective of the date or day of the week.
They provide resources like SHUSH active listening tips and a leaflet on encouraging others to open up. Samaritans urge organising your own Brew Monday events and provide resources like tea party packs, anagrams, and word searches.
