🧠 Mental Health Matters at Work 🧠 October is Mental Health Month, so we'd like to highlight the importance of mental health in the workplace. Did you know that workplaces play a crucial role in supporting mental health? According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), globally an estimated 12 billion working days are lost every year to depression and anxiety. The WHO highlights several key factors that influence mental health at work, including workload, workplace culture, and support systems. 🔑 Key Points: - Workload and stress: Excessive demands, unrealistic deadlines, and long hours can lead to burnout and anxiety. - Workplace culture: A positive, inclusive culture fosters mental wellbeing, while toxic environments can exacerbate mental health problems. - Support systems: Access to resources like counselling, mental health days, and flexible working arrangements can make all the difference. It's time for employers to take action. By prioritising mental health, businesses not only support their employees but also enhance productivity and performance. Let’s create workplaces that nurture mental health for all. 🔗 Dive deeper into this vital topic by reading the full WHO article below 👇 https://lnkd.in/eA6iyhpk #MentalHealthAtWork #Wellbeing #WorkplaceCulture #Leadership #MentalHealthMatters #GIVIT #AustralianCharity

🚨 The cost of living crisis is real 🚨 As the cost of living continues to skyrocket, more Aussies are finding themselves in tough situations and are being forced to make heartbreaking decisions. The ACOSS Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) recently surveyed a selection of people receiving income support. Here's what they found: 🥦 71% of people surveyed are cutting back on meat, fresh fruit, and veggies, with 51% skipping meals altogether. 💊 74% struggle to afford medicine or medical care, and 92% say low-income support is harming their mental health, while 84% report it’s affecting their physical health. ❄️ 68% are cutting back on heating or cooling, 54% are reducing light usage, and 42% are going to bed early to save money. 🚗 81% are using their car less, and 87% see friends and family less often due to financial strain. 🏠 94% of private renters are in rental stress, paying more than 30% of their income on rent. 🌟 Through GIVIT's national network of 4,700 charity partners, we provide tangible assistance to help people in need cope with increased living costs. 💪 Let’s come together and support those doing it tough. 💚
