BLACK DOG
Perhaps most often linked with Winston Churchill the image of the black dog of depression is one that we have all become more familiar with over recent years as mental health has gained more attention in the media.
At Ginger Dog Development we're keen to tackle the stigma and impact of the Black Dog and other mental health conditions. We have a specialism and significant experience in creating mentally healthy organisations. It’s something we have life experience in and that we are enormously passionate about.
1 In 4 British workers are affected by conditions like anxiety, depression and stress every year
