World Mental Health Day 2024 🌍 Today, on 10th October, we join the global movement to raise awareness of mental health and its critical role in the workplace, especially in industries like mining and resources. This year’s theme, “It’s Time to Prioritise Mental Health in the Workplace,” resonates deeply with us at WIMARQ, as we advocate for creating supportive, balanced, and healthy work environments. Let’s break the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage open conversations. Together, we can foster workplaces where everyone feels supported and empowered. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #WIMARQ #WomenInResources #BreakTheStigma #MentalHealthAwareness
