👟 Today marks the start of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and the theme is movement and mental health. 🌳 One of the most important things you can do to help protect your mental health is regular movement. We all know that exercise, taking regular screen breaks and getting outdoors are so beneficial both mentally and physically.  🧘♂️ At our recent #Wellbeing and #Resilience event, the panel shared the importance of prioritising regular exercise, making it a non-negotiable in the diary. Moving more can increase your energy, reduce stress and anxiety, and boost your self-esteem. However it’s often the first thing to go when busy at work. 🌞 When it comes to colleagues and friends - check in, arrange that lunchtime stroll or run or a quick coffee before work. Or why not consider a walking meeting? 💙 As well as mental health and wellbeing support offered by individual member firms, external support is available for accountancy and law firm colleagues through caba and LawCare - the mental health charity for the legal sector. #MentalHealth #support #MomentsForMovement #ProfessionalServices

Hey y’all! It’s your favorite Nurse Practitioner, Kymberli, with Vitality by Kym here with your Mental Health Wellness Tip for Tuesday. Engage in Acts of Kindness: Participating in acts of kindness not only benefits others but also boosts your own mental well-being. Whether it's volunteering at a local charity, helping a neighbor, or simply offering a kind word to someone in need, acts of kindness can evoke feelings of happiness, gratitude, and fulfillment. On Good Deeds Day and beyond, make a conscious effort to spread positivity and kindness wherever you go. Not only will you make a difference in the lives of others, but you'll also cultivate a sense of purpose and satisfaction within yourself. Remember, the simple act of kindness can have a profound impact on both the giver and the receiver, promoting mental wellness for all involved. Now let’s go and be great! Remember...Your Mental Health Rules! #tiptuesday #mentalhealthrules #therapy #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthwellness #nursepractitioner #stressawareness #SocialAnxiety #anxiety #mildanxiety #moderateanxiety #VitalityByKym #VBK #MentalHealthRules #Vitality_By_Kym

For Mental Health Awareness Week, our Team has been reflecting on how employers can support this year’s theme of ‘moving more for your mental health’.   We devised some ideas such as Walking Meetings, Step Competitions, Subsidised Fitness Programmes, and Outdoor Volunteering. However, it felt somehow arbitrary to post this as a carousel. So, instead, here’s a post for anyone who is: 🧡 currently struggling with their mental health. 🧡 recovering from the effects of poor mental health. 🧡 supporting a family member or friend who is struggling with their mental health. Talk to your manager, a trusted colleague, family member, or friend. Help is out there. #mentalhealthawarenessweek #mentalhealth

🧡 Listen to Your Body: Take Care of Your Mental Health 🧡 At PIPS Suicide Prevention Ireland Charity, we encourage everyone to pay close attention to the signals your body gives. Our physical and mental wellbeing are deeply connected, and noticing changes in how we feel is an important step towards maintaining a healthy mind. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just “not quite right,” remember—you’re not alone. Listening to your body is the first step, and reaching out for help is a sign of strength. We’re here to support you every step of the way. #ListenToYourBody #MentalHealthMatters #PIPSCharity #Support

Day 3: 5 Self-Help Tips for Mental Health Awareness Month #MentalHealthAwareness It's Mental Health Awareness Month, and prioritizing self-care is key! Here are 5 tips to boost your well-being: Challenge Your Inner Critic: We all have that voice, but this month, focus on self-compassion. Challenge negative self-talk with affirmations. Write down 3 things you appreciate about yourself each day. Connect & Uplift: Mental health thrives on connection. Reach out to friends, family, or colleagues and ask how they're doing. Let them know you're there to listen without judgment. Be a Mental Health Ally: Help break the stigma! Share educational resources about mental health on your social media or in conversation. Unplug & Recharge: Take a digital detox! Schedule time away from screens and devices. Reconnect with nature, go for a walk, read a book, or pursue a non-digital hobby. Give Back, Feel Good: Consider donating to a mental health charity or volunteering your time. Supporting a cause can be a powerful way to boost your own well-being while helping others.

I loved this post. Mental health is crucial for our overall well-being. It impacts as how we think, feel, and act, influencing how we handle the stress, relate to others, and make choices. Prioritizing mental health fosters resilience, better relationships and enhanced productivity. It’s integral to leading a fulfilling and balanced life👍 #mentalhealth #wellbeing #healthylifestyle

Today is #MentalHealthAwarenessDay2024, and I want to take a moment to talk about something that affects all of us in different ways. Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it often doesn’t get the attention or care it deserves. As someone who works closely with various organisations and charities, I've seen firsthand the impact that stress, anxiety, and burnout can have on individuals and teams. Whether it’s balancing work, family, or personal challenges, we all need to make time for our mental well-being. So today, I encourage you to take a moment for yourself, reach out to someone who might need support, and remember that it’s okay to not be okay. Let’s break the stigma, start the conversation, and take care of ourselves and each other. 💚 #BreakTheStigma #SelfCare #MentalHealthMatters

It’s #mentalhealthawarenessweek and this year’s theme is on “Movement: Moving more for our mental health”. We all know doing some form of exercise is good for our mental health so why not try going for a walk with a colleague at lunchtime, put on your favourite music and dance around your living room to relieve the stress of the working day, or try doing some gentle chair exercises when you’re watching television – it all counts! At KEW we have our team’s back and make it our business to take a moment to check in with our colleagues, ask how they are, and offer support if needed. Acknowledging our colleagues #wellbeing in the workplace helps break down the stigma and barriers often associated with mental health. To show our commitment we have a few things planned this week, including #mentalhealth training to highlight our current benefits as an employer, an organised walking group around Birmingham, a day to 'Wear it Green' to raise funds for the Mental Health Foundation and a session to encourage our colleagues to either share their own personal mental health stories or any tips that may help another colleague going through a tough time. What will you be doing this week to get your teams on the move? #employeewellness #mentalhealth #breakthestigma #movemore
