Enterprise Northern Ireland

World Mental Health Day 2024💚🌍 Today, we join the global community in recognising the importance of mental health. At Enterprise Northern Ireland, we understand that taking care of our mental well-being is just as important as looking after our physical health. To inspire each other and our wider community, we asked our team to share how they take care of their mental health. If it's grabbing a coffee, taking our dogs for a walk, or having a self-care day, our team always try to make time to ensure our mental health is being taken care of. Take a look at what our team do below 👇🏻 By supporting each other and prioritising our well-being, we can create a healthier, more supportive work environment. How do you take care of your mental health? #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters
