November is Men’s Mental Health Month – a vital opportunity to shine a light on the challenges men face, including those who take on caregiving roles.  For male carers, especially SEND dads, the journey can be isolating. Many face limited access to support, few opportunities to connect with others in similar situations, and societal pressures that discourage seeking help. Balancing the demands of parenting with personal wellbeing is no small feat, and the emotional toll is often underestimated. Do you know the stats around parental separation in households where a child has SEND? It's terrifying! Are you aware of the physical health impacts on carers? This month, let’s amplify the conversation about men’s mental health and break down barriers to connection and support.  I wanted to share this fantastic resource from The Work Health Hub that provides practical advice and a reminder that it’s okay to reach out. If you’re a SEND Dad or carer, you’re not alone! Let’s keep working towards a future where all SEND parents, including dads, feel supported, valued, and empowered to seek help when they need it #MensMentalHealthMonth #SENDParenting #MaleCarers #EndTheStigma #mentalhealthatwork #WorkplaceWellbeing #SENDdads 

May 13 marks the beginning of Mental Health Awareness Week. This week isn't just about raising awareness; it's about fostering a culture of support and acceptance. Join us as we spark conversations, share stories, and extend a hand to those who may be struggling. Together, we can break down barriers, erase stigma, and build a community where mental health is prioritized and respected. Whether it's reaching out to a friend, practicing self-care, or simply starting a conversation, every action counts. Together, we can make a difference. https://hubs.la/Q02vXFnj0 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #wellbeing

Guiding principles can help build a mental health and substance use health system that respects and supports human rights. This is something desperately needed in BC’s mental health system in order to support wellbeing.

Every May, European Mental Health Week brings together diverse participants. This month's theme features “Better Together.” It is promoting mental health for all by fighting stigma and discrimination. Co-creation inspires responsibility, trust, power, and, most importantly, shared accountability. Doing with can be considered better than doing for – we are #BetterTogether. If you are wondering how to participate, now offers the perfect time to act! Throughout the month of May, the EU puts a spotlight on prioritizing mental well-being. Did you know that 89% of EU citizens agree that mental health promotion remains a priority, just as physical health promotion does?
