Reflecting on my recent experiences in the charity sector, I feel the need to raise an important question. When mental health charities use famous faces to promote their cause but fail to embody the values they advocate, are they truly serving the people in need? There’s a significant disparity in access to mental health resources between those with fame or money and the average person. Genuine communication, empathy, and understanding are crucial in this field, yet I’ve seen a troubling lack of these values in some leaders. How can we ensure that mental health charities stay true to their mission and provide equitable access to everyone, not just the privileged few? #mentalhealthawareness #awareness #charity

It’s World Mental Health Day today. Mind is one of the UK’s 🇬🇧foremost Mental Health charities. https://lnkd.in/emTvCKFt “We’re in the middle of a mental health crisis. 2 million people are currently stuck on waiting lists for NHS mental health services. And on top of this, mental health stigma is still a significant issue. Real people, being left behind by a broken mental health system.” Mind is asking the Government to do 5 things: Reform the outdated Mental Health Act Raise the standard of mental health hospitals Build a network of support hubs so young people can get mental health support before they reach crisis point Support people with mental health problems to thrive at work Make benefits assessments work for disabled people so everyone has a financial safety net when they need it.

Today marks the start of World #MentalHealthWeek. According to @cmhanational, 1 in 5 people in Canada will personally experience a mental health problem or illness. This expansive causal area encompasses more than 200 different types of mental health disorders. And there are even more charities across Canada that represent these different sub-categories of mental health. This means there is a charity out there that works to support whatever aspect of mental health matters most to you. If this is a causal area that speaks to you, there are so many ways to get involved with supporting #MentalHealth this week (and throughout the year).
