Time to address the staggering reality facing our society. In just 13 years, the cost of poor mental health has become 3x skyrocketing to a staggering £300 billion annually. This is not just a statistic; it's a crisis unfolding before our eyes 😥 We have seen funding cuts for NHS services, people languishing for support in "hidden" waiting lists and clinicians leaving public health to private. Meanwhile, wellness gurus and apps continue to suggest that we can meditate our way out of it. Not sure. Or perhaps Netflix and TikTok can help us forget our worries for a bit. Or Doomscrolling? Or even better, ChatGPT can rescue us with AI therapists or calming generated videos. 😑 No, I don't think so. This has to come from within. As a society, we cannot afford to overlook the urgency of this issue. Let's come together to advocate for change, break down barriers, and to prioritise mental health as a fundamental aspect of well-being. ☝🏾 Next time when you see a colleague, a friend or a customer ask them if how they are doing? Don't push your opinion or sale but try to listen without judgement. Every action counts. 💪 Together, we can create a future where mental health support is accessible, timely, and compassionate for all. #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheStigma
