The official theme for this year's World Mental Health Day is 'Mental Health is a Universal Human Right'. This global campaign aims to engage individuals, communities, businesses, and policymakers to accelerate efforts related to mental health, recognizing that a person's mental health impacts their ability to exercise other rights such as access to support, education, right to work, social participation and overall quality of life. To make meaningful progress on this global campaign, we need to collaborate with users as equal partners in designing integrated systems that go beyond diagnosis, develop needs-based solutions that are community-focused, and promote holistic well-being. Today and every day, let us uphold mental health as a universal human right and build a healthier world free of discrimination and stigma. #MentalHealth #WorldMentalHealthDay

The Power Of AWE "With pediatric health experts raising the alarm about children’s mental health, helping kids experience a little more awe, could become part of our collective response." (Kris, 2021.) Here’s how experts say we can infuse more of this emotion into our everyday lives. *You allow unstructured time. *You wander. You drift through. You take a walk with no aim. *You slow things down. You allow for mystery and open questions rather than test-driven answers. *You allow people to engage in the humanities of dance and visual art and music. How do you find awe in your life? #outdoorexploration #natureconneciton #awe #wonder #curiosity #play #explore #connect Article link; https://lnkd.in/gqYQ8aNM

Celebrating AAPI Heritage and Mental Health Awareness Month by shining a light on a crucial topic: mental health in the AAPI community. Let's break the stigma, support each other, and cultivate spaces of understanding and healing. Take some time today to understand the cultural lens that our Asian American and Pacific Islander friends and community members view the world from. Read about the history, ask about their experiences, pursue resources that are culturally congruent for your clients. As doulas, it is so important to understand the significance of a client's culture in their daily life. We encourage you to set aside time with each of your clients to discuss the role of cultural practices they would like to see in their birth experience. #AAPIHeritageMonth #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #doulas #tdn #culture #mentalhealth

May is both Older Adults and Mental Health Awareness Month. A recent VOYCE St. Louis newsletter featured an article by Dr. Marla Berg-Weger, executive director of Gateway Geriatric Education Center of St. Louis University, highlighting the importance of social connectedness for seniors' mental health. Dr. Berg-Weger notes that while there is no single intervention solution, "strategies often include opportunities for older adults to interact with others in-person, online, and even phone calls for social, cultural, educational, and/or physical activity-related opportunities. Joining others for interesting, stimulating, and healthy activities can enhance one’s sense of connectedness, improve physical and mental health, AND decrease loneliness and social isolation.

As #MentalHealthMonth2024 comes to a close, it's important to remember: You matter. We all go through difficult times.

You deserve the same access to mental healthcare as anyone else. You matter. #AccessibleSexualHealth #988 #YouMatter #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealth
