Happy World Smile Day! 😊 Today, we celebrate the incredible power of a smile and the joy it brings to our lives. A simple smile can light up a room, uplift spirits, and create connections between people. On this special day, let’s not only share smiles but also focus on promoting mental health awareness and supporting each other on our wellness journeys.Mental health is just as important as physical health, and it affects everyone regardless of age, background, or circumstances. Many people face challenges that can often feel overwhelming, but a kind gesture, like a smile or a few words of encouragement, can make a significant difference in someone’s day. Let’s lift each other up and remind ourselves of the importance of checking in on our friends, family, and colleagues. Together, we can create an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and supported. As we celebrate today, take a moment to reach out to someone who may need it. Share a smile, a compliment, or simply let them know you’re there for them. Remember, kindness is contagious, and by spreading joy, we can contribute to a positive ripple effect in our communities. Let’s continue to advocate for mental wellness and foster a culture of understanding and support. Together, we can make the world a brighter place one smile at a time! ✨ #WorldSmileDay #MentalHealthAwareness #SpreadJoy #SupportEachOther #KindnessMatters

Did you know May is Mental Health Awareness Month? At Turn2, we take mental health seriously and prioritize the well-being of our employees. That's why we offer half-day Fridays year-round as a way for our team to recharge, reconnect with loved ones, or simply take some much needed me time. It's important to take care of your mental health, and we believe that providing this time off can make a big difference in our employees' lives! If you're a Turn2 employee, or work somewhere that offers half-day Fridays, feel free to comment and share what that extra time each week means to you! #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #SelfCare #HalfDayFridays #Turn2Partners #Staffingmadepersonal🌿💚

🌧️ April showers bring May flowers, but why not bring a sprinkle of well-being too? 🌼 Go with me here for a minute… I had a fabulous call this week with an employer looking to implement First Stop Health before their 7/1 renewal (off-cycle implementations help boost utilization rates!). Given that May is Mental Health Awareness Month, this employer asked for a 6/1 start date and plans to use the month of May to help promote the new Virtual Mental Health employee benefit. How amazing is that?! GIFTING your employees a free virtual care + mental health solution. I loved this idea and wanted to share! It’s not too late.. there is still time to do this. 🌸 At First Stop Health, we believe caring for mental health should be as simple as smelling the roses, NOT as challenging as getting everyone to look at the camera for a family photo! 🤣 Our service offers a seamless experience—no copays, no complex claims, just straightforward support and guaranteed success - boom! 💥 This May let’s not just watch the flowers bloom, but let's ensure our workplace culture flourishes too! LET’S CHAT! 😊 #MentalHealthAwareness #EmployeeWellness #HealthcareInnovation

🌿Today is World Mental Health Day! 🌿 The theme set by the World Health Organisation this year is ✨Mental Health at Work✨ This is a tricky one for women in business, as we often work from home, or struggle with setting and maintaining boundaries between work and home. But when the boundaries blur, our mental health can suffer. Maybe not straight away, but over time, those blurred lines and no time to switch our brain off from work and enjoy life start to have a real impact on how we feel about everything, including ourselves, our relationships and our business. It’s something I’ve struggled with - it’s been a long winter of sickness, and I’ve had to juggle sick kids at home, and then work in the evening, and only consistently get 4-6 hours sleep a night, if lucky. It felt like a hamster wheel, and it was difficult to stick to clear boundaries between home and work. I feel like we’re finally starting to come out the other side, but it’s been a long road. Things I’ve focused on to support my mental health: ✨Making home improvements - feeling better about the space I exist in for home and work ✨Bringing on more team support into my business - I don’t have to do it all alone ✨Eating healthy - as much as the chocolate calls to me, I feel better when I try and eat more protein ✨Trying to move more - I have no idea how to fit structured exercise into this chaotic life, but we’re working on a lot of dance parties with the kids, occasional walks, and a bit of gardening ✨Making plans for kid-free time with my partner and friends - taking time out away from my kids makes me a better parent when I’m with my kids ✨Making plans for our family, like a kiddy birthday party and holidays ✨I started reading a fiction book for fun - I admit, I haven’t finished it, but it’s something I plan on working on Remember: ✨It’s okay to pause ✨It’s okay to ask for help ✨And it’s more than okay to take time for yourself I’d love to hear how you support your own mental health when balancing work and life?

Wishing you a very happy Easter from all of us at BeReady.🌷 In today's fast-paced environment, incorporating self-care practices has become increasingly important. Recognising the demands and responsibilities within our lives, we must foster a culture of wellbeing. Self-care is not just a personal luxury; it is an investment in our collective ability to navigate the complexities of our roles effectively. Whether it's encouraging short breaks, incorporating mindful activities, or promoting a supportive community, the positive impact on overall productivity and mental health cannot be overstated. That’s why we want to share with you some insightful tips to help you nurture your wellbeing during the upcoming Easter break here: https://lnkd.in/dxrK_JV4   Remember, self-care is personal. It doesn't need to be Instagrammable or fit someone else's idea of what's relaxing. #wellbeing #easterbreak #workplacewellbeing #BeReady #wellbeingchampion #easter #selfcare

Creating Safe Spaces for Mental Health: A Powerful Night of Reflection Last night’s event was more than just a gathering—it was an experience that challenged us to confront the reality of mental health struggles in a raw and unfiltered way. We transformed a damp, dark, disused underground carpark into a symbolic space to reflect how mental health can make people feel: lonely, isolated, and invisible. Through a powerful film screening and an immersive audio experience, we invited everyone to step into the depths of how mental illness can strip away our sense of connection and belonging. It was uncomfortable—but that’s exactly the point. We can't shy away from these conversations. Safe spaces are essential, whether it's a physical space, an online community, or simply the trust built in a relationship. I’m deeply passionate about creating these spaces—places where people can share their stories without fear, where mental health is not hidden away, but embraced with openness and support. That’s what The Place is in Ayr, a safe space focused on mental wellbeing. Last night’s event showed that when we come together and face these challenges head-on, we can change lives. Mental health struggles are often invisible, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t real. We must continue to foster environments where people feel safe to express themselves, seek help, and find the support they need when they need it. Last night, someone came forward to tell us they had been turned away for help when feeling suicidal. They’ll now get support from our charity Three Sixty. We created a safe space in the most unimaginable of spaces. It can be done. Let’s build more of these spaces in our workplaces, communities, and relationships. #MentalHealthMatters #CreatingSafeSpaces #Wellbeing #CommunitySupport

🎃👻 This Halloween, let’s talk about something that often goes unseen: mental health. Just like the spooky surprises lurking around every corner, our mental wellbeing can sometimes hide in the shadows, waiting to be acknowledged. At VirtualE, our main goal is to shine a light on employee wellbeing and create a supportive environment where everyone feels valued. Just as we enjoy the thrill of a haunted house, we want to transform the workplace into a space where employees can freely express their feelings, seek help, and engage in wellbeing challenges. This Halloween, let’s embrace the conversation about mental health! Together, we can lift the veil on stigma and create a culture that prioritizes wellbeing, making every workplace a safe haven. 🕷️ 💜 Happy Halloween from all of us at VirtualE!

Back when I started out, days like #WorldMentalHealthDay weren’t even on the radar. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come in bringing awareness of the importance of mental health at work, but there’s still plenty left to do. This year’s theme, “Mental health in the workplace,” is a reminder that our work environment plays a huge role in our overall well-being. After all, it's where we spend the majority of our days and weeks - often more time than we spend with loved ones. At Nabooki, we’re committed to creating a space where mental well-being is a priority and we're also proud to support our clients in creating inclusion for everyone within their business too. The 'little' things like checking in with your team, encouraging breaks, or making space for open conversations are key. For me, it's also my daily ocean swim 🌊 - time to clear my head and be reminded of mother nature's masterpiece at work. Keep the momentum going. Prioritising mental health isn’t just a one-day thing, it’s an everyday commitment. #WorldMentalHealthDay2024 #MentalHealthAwareness #HealthyWorkplace #Nabooki
