On October 10th, we recognize 🔵World Mental Health Day🔵 As part of a clinical research organization involved in clinical trials, it’s crucial for us -and everyone- to raise awareness about mental health. 🔹We should all share our needs and listen carefully to others. 🔹We should all reach out for help if we need to and offer a helping hand to those around us. 🔹We should all take care of each other and make time for self-care. Mental health matters. There’s a lot to be done, starting with small actions that lead to significant results. #WeAreIQVIA #WorldMentalHealthDay2024

🧠💙 June is Men's Mental Health Month, a crucial time to raise awareness and support the mental well-being of men everywhere. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and we must break the stigma surrounding it. At First 4 Recruitment Ltd we are committed to fostering an environment where mental health is openly discussed and prioritised. Let's use this month as an opportunity to: 🔹Encourage open conversations about mental health. 🔹Promote resources and support systems available for men. 🔹Recognise the signs of mental health struggles and offer help. 🔹Advocate for a culture of understanding and compassion. Remember, it's okay not to be okay, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Let's support each other, not just this month, but every day. If you or someone you know needs support, don't hesitate to reach out. Together, we can make a difference. 💪💙 #MensMentalHealthMonth #BreakTheStigma #MentalHealthMatters

As part of #TimetoTalk Day, the team at Mind have shared their talking tips to encourage open discussions surrounding mental health. 1 in 4 of us will experience mental health problems in any given year, so it's important to know and share quick insights that can help us all show someone that they're being heard. 👉🏻Ask open, non-judgemental questions. 👉🏻Don't play the expert. Just being there for a friend or loved one is enough - take care to treat them the same. 👉🏻Don't try to fix it - just listening can be powerful enough. 👉🏻Keep it simple - chat over a cuppa, text, or go for a walk.
