At Companion Group, we understand that #MentalHealthMatters 💚 In honor of #WorldMentalHealthDay on october 10th, we reaffirm our commitment to raising awareness and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health. Our dedication extends beyond words as we actively prioritize mental well-being in our workplace: ✅ We’ve partnered with Safe In Our World, an organization dedicated to mental health support within the gaming industry 🎮 Through this partnership, we actively promote resources and provide our team with mental health training to ensure everyone feels supported. ✅ We've also developed initiatives to create a healthy, balanced work environment where employees can seek help, take mental health breaks 🧘 and access professional resources when needed. Last year, our Talent Acquisition Lead, Charles, worked with Safe In Our World to share a deeply personal article on Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), shedding light on how we can better support each other. Let’s continue breaking the stigma and ensuring no one feels alone. 📖 You can read Charlie’s article here: ➡️https://lnkd.in/e3UQvF3w 🎧 You can listen to Charlie’s podcast here: ➡️https://lnkd.in/d9W_qBnx
