ANCOR’s Post

Emerging as the champion in the Book Review (Senior) category at the esteemed "Cherish Your Spark: National Mental Health and Individuality Fest 2023" organized by 'Eutuxia First' fills me with immense pride. My review was based on the book 'Who Moved My Cheese?' by Dr. Spencer Johnson. This win serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to elevate conversations around mental health and celebrate individuality. The fest's focus on mental health advocacy resonates deeply in today's world, where prioritizing mental wellness is paramount. It's a reminder that neglecting mental health has widespread repercussions, impacting not just individuals but entire communities. By celebrating individuality, we acknowledge the beauty in diversity and the importance of creating environments that embrace uniqueness. This win isn't just mine—it's a shared triumph for advancing mental health advocacy and celebrating individuality. Let's keep this momentum alive, advocating for mental wellness and championing the value of every individual. #MentalHealthAdvocacy #ChampioningIndividuality #MentalHealthMatters

Shifting our mind from scarcity to abundance in our interactions and discussions can be powerful! As part of my adventure in networking and engaging with curious minds, I found this session to be incredibly eye-opening. Chibanda's approach demonstrates the profound impact community and empathy can have on mental health and overall well-being. Here are my top three takeaways: 1. Community Empowerment:Training grandmothers as mental health caregivers not only provides invaluable support to those in need, but it also empowers these women, helping them rediscover their purpose. 2. The Power of Listening:The importance of deep listening in conversations cannot be overstated. It creates a safe space for individuals to express their feelings, breaking down barriers associated with stigma. 3. Scalable Solutions:This model demonstrates that with the right training, community members can effectively support one another, potentially creating a sustainable approach to mental health care that's adaptable across various cultures. This talk made me reflect on how we can leverage available resources to lift each other up whether in mental health, leadership, or environmental conservation. I’d love to hear your thoughts! How do you approach innovative solutions in your field?

Self care and community care are foundational elements to well-being. Why is that you might ask? In a society that over-values individual accomplishments that are often measured in crude metrics, for example, amount of wealth, job salaries, and ability to climb the corporate ladder, these are weighted too heavily. This creates an illusion that people become successful because of their own accord. This is seldom the case. My conceptualization is a little different. I look at how connected people are in their communities and social networks, and how they care for important others. Self care + community care increases well being. Thank you for listening. Every month is mental health awareness month.

Mental Health of employees is a crucial determinant in the workplace culture. At Mental Health Collaborative we help to bring education and tools to workplace teams. #mentalhealthliteracy #workplacementalhealth
