World Mental Health Day – Breaking down the barriers to conversations
Friday 10th October was World Mental Health Day
What is the objective?
The World Health Organization says: The overall objective of World Mental Health Day is to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health. The Day provides an opportunity for all stakeholders working on mental health issues to talk about their work, and what more needs to be done to make mental health care a reality for people worldwide.
Acknowledging World Mental Health Day
We want to acknowledge that you—or someone you know—may be experiencing challenges with mental health. We recognise that as leaders, coaches, colleagues and friends, we all have a role to play in enabling strong mental health in our workplaces and breaking down the barriers to having mental health conversations.
Paula discusses the barriers to mental health conversations and simple steps we can take to overcome those barriers.
We also encourage you to take the time for your own wellbeing. Take 30 minutes to focus on your mental health—whatever that looks like for you. Walk, talk, catch up with a colleague, listen to music, laugh, run, jump, breathe, meditate…whatever it is—now is the time.
Let’s honour World Mental Health Day by putting conversations and wellbeing first.
