On Friday we celebrated our All-Staff Summer Appreciation event at Oaks Amusement Park!

The hard work our staff puts in every day is no illusion, and we're thankful for each and every person who makes an impact for mental health in our community!💫 #MentalHealthMagic #Community #OurTeam #GetIntoTheNarrative

Let's talk about mental health in the workplace. Just under half of New Narrative's workforce reported lived experience with mental health conditions in our 2023 survey. Australian weather forecaster Nate Byrne's public panic attack experience can happen to anyone, and we appreciate his desire to shed light on the impacts of #MentalHealth in our professional lives. Adopting an approach based in curiosity and compassion helped Nate to find the tools he needed to adapt. "...talking about my anxiety and seeking treatment mean that it's something I can live with and manage," he wrote in his 2022 article mentioned in the video below.

Our in-house catering crew is second to none. Rain or shine, they put in the work to ensure meals and supplies are delivered to almost all of our 40+ sites across the region! Every week they continue building positive relationships with residents and program staff alike. 🥙#FunFact: in one year alone, they delivered around 130,000 meals to sites! Check out a behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of the catering crew below, and read more about their impact: https://lnkd.in/gatm8dfj #CateringCrew #CateringTeam #NewNarrativePDX #MentalHealthAgency

When it comes to residential treatment and support, our staff know that everyone deserves to feel like a whole person throughout their stay with us. "A lot of the folks feel like previously, they never had the support they needed. I work to treat people like people and not a diagnosis," says Tini Thai, a Residential Support Specialist at New Narrative. Tini works at one of our residential treatment facilities, supporting residents with daily activities and community-building. We pride ourselves on working with participants to identify goals and build treatment plans that work uniquely for each of them.

Let's face it...friends at work make work feel less like work. (Bonus: mental health benefits!) A whopping 81% of New Narrative staff reported having at least one work friend in our 2023 all-staff survey. Take a moment on #InternationalDayOfFriendship to celebrate that one colleague who always seems to know when you need a surprise coffee treat, or can make you laugh with just one look across the water cooler. Here's to #friendship! Share this post if you have a work bestie, or tag them in the comments so we can celebrate them with you! ➡ Are you wanting to make friends at work and not sure where to start? Here are some ideas: -Ask a colleague about a photo on their desk or art on their wall. -Follow up with a team member after a high-stakes project to see how they're doing. -Check in with your desk mate: can you bounce a few ideas off of them for their feedback? Sometimes all it takes is a small gesture to get the ball rolling! #OfficeFriend #OfficeBestie #FriendsAtWork #NewNarrativePDX
