From sharing remedies passed down through generations to finding solace in nature, let's nurture ourselves and our communities.

🌎 Today, on World Mental Health Day, we recognize the contributions of members of the legal profession, including lawyers, judges, and law professors, who are raising awareness of the importance of talking about and supporting mental health within the legal community. The contributions of authors, including our founding partner Katherine Cooligan, to the recently released book “The Right Not to Remain Silent: The Truth About Mental Health in the Legal Profession”, along with Erin Durant’s book, “It Burned Me All Down” ensure that this important dialogue continues. Their work confirms that shared experiences make the journey less lonely and that the stigma that has existed for far too long, needs to end. We must recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health. Whether advocating for a supportive workplace culture, fostering open conversations, or simply checking in on colleagues, we all have a role to play – and it is an important role. We also recognize that significant life-changing events, many of which our own clients experience, create new or intensified struggles with mental health. We know that no one is immune. Let’s commit to breaking the stigma and creating environments where everyone feels safe to share their needs and seek help. Together, we can build a healthier, more resilient community. For those struggling, remember that you are not alone. Reach out to your community for support! All royalties from "Break The Stigma" are being donated to CAMH.

Since United for Global Mental Health was launched, the American Friends of UnitedGMH has supported its work. Today the outgoing Chair of American Friends of United for Global Mental Health - Gabrielle Fitzgerald - and I share some reflections on mental health today. Dedicated campaigning has placed mental health on the global agenda, leading to significant policy milestones like UN and WHO resolutions. Countries are updating their mental health laws and decriminalising suicide, with UnitedGMH supporting these efforts in places like Pakistan and Ghana. International donors are closing a $200 billion investment gap, integrating mental health into their strategies, while innovative solutions and youth-led initiatives are driving change and support worldwide. I encourage you to read about these inspiring milestones and join us in celebrating the remarkable strides we've made as a mental health community. Working as a global team we all remain committed to achieving the vision of a world where everyone, everywhere, has access to mental health support, free of stigma or restrictions. @PanoramaGlobal #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters

As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s crucial to reflect on the journey of mental health advocacy and the significance of this observance. Dating back to 1949, Mental Health Awareness Month has served as a platform to raise awareness, combat stigma, and promote understanding surrounding mental health challenges. Today, it continues to be a pivotal moment to engage in meaningful conversations, advocate for accessible resources, and prioritize self-care practices. Let’s honor the past while looking towards a future where mental well-being is a fundamental aspect of overall health. Together, let’s continue to amplify our voices and support one another on this journey. #MentalHealthAwareness #HistoryOfAdvocacy #BreakTheStigma
