Cultivating Minds UK was developed by Graham Goulden, simply to get people talking. When we create the space for conversation, we help build trust, support and confidence that will help address issues where harm is often the outcome.

Harm resulting from poor behaviour, professional mistakes and poor mental health all contribute to a range of negative outcomes for all the above settings. These include, physical, emotional harm, trust in an organisation, recruitment and retention, legal liability as well as reduced performance.

Harm is preventable not inevitable.

Conversations help communicate the pro-social norms that exist in business, education, sports teams and professions like policing, fire and rescue, health care and social work. In simple terms when we better know what other people think we can all do more to reduce harm.

Conversations help build trust and support. Conversations help motivate people to do what’s right.

Did you know? – Intervention doesn’t have too always be direct. There are many ways to be an active bystander. It’s not so much about “Should you intervene, more could you do something?”
