The Psychological Benefits of Giving Back In a world where self-care often takes centre stage, it's equally important to recognise the profound impact of giving back to our communities. Beyond the tangible acts of generosity, there's a wealth of psychological benefits that ripple through both giver and receiver, shaping our collective well-being. Sense of Purpose and Fulfillment. By contributing to the betterment of our communities, we tap into a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment. Whether it's volunteering at a local shelter, organising a fundraiser, or simply lending a helping hand, these acts infuse our lives with meaning and significance, enriching our overall sense of satisfaction. Connection and Belonging. Giving back fosters a sense of connection and belonging within our communities. As we come together to support one another, we strengthen the bonds that tie us together, creating a network of empathy, support, and solidarity. Through acts of kindness, we build bridges that transcend barriers and unite us in a shared commitment to uplift those in need. Boost in Mental Well-being. Numerous studies have shown the positive impact of altruism on mental health. Engaging in acts of kindness releases feel-good hormones, promoting a sense of happiness, fulfilment, and reduced stress levels. In essence, giving back is a powerful antidote to the pressures of daily life, nurturing our mental well-being and resilience. Inspiration and Empowerment. Each act of giving back has the potential to inspire and empower others to do the same. Whether it's leading by example, sharing our experiences, or amplifying the voices of those making a difference, we have the power to ignite a ripple effect of kindness and compassion that reverberates far beyond our immediate circles. We live in a country where this is so important. Together, let's embrace the journey of service, compassion, and community, knowing that in lifting others, we ultimately elevate ourselves. #CommunityImpact #GiveBack #PsychologicalWellbeing #TogetherWeRise #PersonalMastery #IntegralCoaching

Through our text line, we see the immense toll that lack of respect and safety is having on workers’ mental health. From daycare educators to truck drivers to office managers, people share that they are, “overwhelmed,” “exhausted,” “burned out,” and “depressed” from facing the inequities and disrespect that toxic workplaces bring. In 2022, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy made a call to action to leaders nationwide to create a future where our workplaces are engines of well-being. Empower Work's founder and executive director, Jaime-Alexis Fowler joined Dr. Vivek Murthy in Philadelphia as he launched his framework for supporting the mental health and well-being of workers across the country. Over the past five years, Empower Work has supported 370,000 workers, with 94% of people who reach out to the text line reporting improved mental health after a conversation with a peer counselor. There is still work to be done to ensure that people are supported, heard, valued, and empowered at work. Together, we can help workers who need support now more than ever. This Mental Health Awareness Month, make a difference in the lives of workers by helping us keep the text line free.

#internationalmenshealthweek This week shines a light on all the men in our lives. To raise awareness of preventable health problems that disproportionately affect men and encourage them to seek help. Men are generally less likely to seek help for mental health issues, often due to expectations and stigma around showing vulnerability and emotion. This can have serious consequences, including higher rates of suicide. A tragic fact, men are four times more likely to die by suicide than women. What can workplaces do to support specifically their male colleagues health? We'd love to hear your ideas in the comments below⬇️. Creating environments where everyone feels phycologically safe to speak to anyone they like and trust, offer leadership training around mental health, communication, people management and signposting are just a few ideas. Seeking help really is a positive thing, not any kind of weakness.
