I was at the height of my mental health struggles on the left picture. I was completely burned out. I wasn’t a good nurse or a good colleague and my entire life was turned upside down. The right picture is of me today. It took a lot of support and love from my family and friends, and I was privileged enough to pay for and have access to mental health tools and resources. It’s truly incredible the difference a year makes. I’m sharing my story because so many of my healthcare colleagues are also struggling with their mental health, in silence, because of the mental health stigma. The reason I get up everyday is to advocate, empower and support healthcare workers alongside my incredible team Plannly Health | Powered By Google. We want to give a voice to those who care for us. Please help me spread awareness on this incredibly important issue if you have a moment - like, subscribe, and tag other healthcare workers, your leaders, those in the behavioral health industry and even those who aren't - anyone.

As health professionals or caregivers on someone's healthcare journey, can we truly say we consistently promote physical health along the way? In the field of mental health, I'm prepared to put my neck on the line and argue that, aside from alleviating severe acute mental illnesses or intense immediate stressors, physical health is the most crucial aspect of mental well-being. Whether one is a GP, mental health nurse, wellbeing practitioner, or psychiatrist, it’s essential to support people in staying active, getting sunlight, eating well, reducing unhealthy habits, sleeping adequately, and talking an internet in self-development. These should be top priorities for everyone in the field of mental health. Great to see this article in Mental Health Pratice. #nursing #physicalhealth #mentalhealth #healthcare

A “day” is never enough…. We deserve so many more hours of appreciation than 24. If you know a Mental Health nurse/tech/unit secretary please know that they do the work of angels on earth. It’s tough, is challenging, it’s unpredictable and it’s not for everyone. We know this, we see/hear the responses of “I could never…” Its unfortunate that so much stigma still exists with human beings who have a diagnosis that people can’t see - but it’s real. And it hurts. And they want help. So when you find your people who are dedicated to helping the minds of those who struggle to regain mental health- it’s an immediate sense of purpose and collaboration. Happy Mental Health Nurse Day - and to all who care for others. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthadvocate #lovewhatyoudo #workculture #teamcollaboration #teamculture #nurseleadership #nursemanager #nurseempowerment #makeadifference #makeanimpact
