As the world acknowledges #WorldMentalHealthDay, we proudly acknowledge allied health professionals, and the ways that they work to improve mental health. We also stand with the World Health Organization to raise awareness about the connection between mental health and the workplace. A safe and supportive work environment is essential for protecting mental health, but harmful conditions like stigma, discrimination and harassment put it at risk. With 60% of the world’s population in the workforce, as a community it's time to take action. It is essential for governments, employers, the organisations that represent workers and employers, and other stakeholders responsible for workers’ health and safety to work together to improve mental health at work. Action to address mental health at work should be done with the meaningful involvement of workers and their representatives, and persons with lived experience of mental health conditions. By investing efforts and resources in evidence-based approaches and interventions at work, we can ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive at work and in life.

This World Mental Health Day, 10 October 2024, we unite with the global community behind the theme: "Mental Health at Work" to raise awareness of the vital connection between mental health and work. 🌏🧠 Our working environments can play a key role in protecting our mental health, but unhealthy conditions — such as stigma, discrimination, and poor working conditions — can put mental health at risk, impacting quality of life and productivity. For the MS community, mental health is particularly important, as research shows that people living with MS are more likely to experience anxiety or depression. It is essential for governments and employers to foster environments that support mental health and wellbeing. By investing efforts and resources in evidence-based approaches and interventions at work, we can ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive at work and in life. We’ve put together information and resources on mental health for the MS community 👉 https://bit.ly/3ROudQo #lookafteryourmentalhealthaustralia #WMHD2024 #WorldMentalHealthDay

As World Mental Health Day is approaching , COLUMBIA pure emphasizes the critical link between mental health and public health. While physical health protocols have long been the priority, mental well-being is equally essential for creating a healthy, safe environment for all. A 360° integrated approach to mental health considers the impact of the physical environment, social dynamics, and organisational culture. By incorporating mental health into public health strategies—through access to care, peer support, and preventive measures—organisations can promote better health outcomes, enhance resilience during crises, and foster a supportive, inclusive work environment. Learn more about how a 360° approach can support both crew and passengers https://lnkd.in/dHBJSRMr #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #PublicHealth #WorkplaceWellbeing #COLUMBIAPure

In today's fast-paced world, the importance of mental health cannot be overstated. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, our mental well-being plays a fundamental role in our overall health and happiness. Investing in mental health isn't just a moral imperative – it's also a smart economic decision. Research consistently shows that prioritising mental health leads to numerous benefits, including increased productivity, improved relationships, and reduced healthcare costs. By investing in mental health initiatives, organisations can create a more supportive and inclusive work environment, leading to higher employee satisfaction and retention. Additionally, communities that prioritise mental health resources see lower rates of substance abuse, crime, and homelessness. At Triumf Health, we understand the transformative power of investing in mental health. Our mission is to provide innovative solutions that empower individuals to take control of their mental well-being. From our gamified mental health app to our research initiatives, we're dedicated to making mental health support accessible to all. Let's prioritise mental health together and create a brighter, healthier future for everyone. 💪 #MentalHealth #InvestInMentalHealth #WellBeing #TriumfHealth #PublicHealth #teamtriumf

Today is World Mental Health Day🌎💚 This day is to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health. Our jobs and workplaces can have a big impact on our health and wellbeing. In fact, employment can impact both directly and indirectly on the individual, their families and communities. Therefore, work and health-related worklessness are important public health issues, both at local and national level. At the BFPA, we understand the need for members to prioritise the wellbeing of employees and understand the challenges we all face in today’s demanding work environment. We proudly support CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably, for men aged 15 to 35), whose aim is to help anyone struggling with life - and provide everyone with the skills to help prevent suicide. https://lnkd.in/gC5P2u6 #WorldMentalHealthDay #mentalhealth #mentalhealthishealth #BFPA #fluidpower #healthyandsafety #wellbeing
