Today, World Mental Health Day, is an opportunity for people, teams, and communities to come together in their commitment to improved mental health for all. This year’s theme, ‘Mental health is a universal human right” is intended to help to educate, raise awareness and drive action that promotes and protects everyone’s mental health. Every individual has the potential to create ripples of change that can resonate throughout a community or organization. In the context of mental health advocacy at work, for example, this means standing up and asking for your own mental health needs and rights, and in doing so, shifting the dynamics and culture of the entire workplace. My organization, Here, continues its commitment to changing minds about mental health. Below are three ways to join movement in changing minds: ✉ Sign up for our (weekly'ish) newsletter delivering resources and the latest on mental health 💻 Follow on Instagram and Linkedin (Here) 🧠 Check out and share our training, resources, and consulting services All linked in comments.
