LUNCH TALKS FOR ORGANISATIONS
Mental health conversations that fit your workday
What are Lunch Talks?
Mental health awareness in Asia’s workplaces is shifting. More organisations are prioritising employee wellbeing—not just physical health, but mental and emotional health too. Lunch Talks are part of Incontact’s Employee Assistance Programme, designed to open up conversations about mental health in a way that’s accessible, engaging, and relevant.
Led by experienced mental health professionals, these 45–90 minute sessions can be conducted onsite or online. Each talk provides practical insights into common challenges—stress, anxiety, burnout, workplace conflict—and offers simple tools and strategies people can use in their daily lives. Think of them as bite-sized mental health education, designed to empower teams with awareness and action.

Why Lunch Talks matter
Mental health is everyone’s business—not just HR’s. Our Lunch Talks help normalise conversations about mental wellbeing and reduce the stigma that often keeps people from seeking help. They equip your team with coping tools, promote psychological safety, and build a culture of openness and support within the workplace.

FAQ
Yes. Our Lunch Talks are designed to be approachable, inclusive, and jargon-free. They work well as an entry point for those new to mental health awareness.
Absolutely. We regularly customise talks to suit organisational needs—whether it’s handling burnout in high-pressure roles or fostering resilience after company-wide changes.
No. Lunch Talks are educational, not clinical. They raise awareness, offer coping strategies, and point participants to further resources if needed—but they are not a substitute for individual counselling.
Anywhere between 10–50 participants works well, but we’ve also delivered sessions to larger teams. For deeper interaction, smaller groups (under 30) are ideal.
They’re highly interactive. Our facilitators use discussions, exercises, and relatable examples to keep participants engaged. Passive listening is never the goal.
Yes, we regularly deliver Lunch Talks over Zoom and similar platforms. We adapt our format slightly to suit virtual engagement while keeping the experience interactive.
No preparation is needed. We create a psychologically safe environment where participation is encouraged but not forced.
We handle all topics with care and cultural sensitivity. Our facilitators are trained to read the room and adapt accordingly to ensure safety and respect.
Some clients run them monthly or quarterly. Others schedule them around specific stress points—e.g., performance review season, post-restructuring, or World Mental Health Day.
We recommend starting with an EAP consultation so we can understand your needs and tailor the talk accordingly. Book an EAP Consultation here.
