📣Public Consultation📣 The purpose of this survey is to help the MHC identify key areas that the new standards for community residential mental health services should address. As part of this consultation, we would like to hear from all relevant stakeholders. We especially want to hear from people who have direct experience of being in a community residence, those close to them and those working in community residential mental health services. We will carefully assess all survey responses received and use the information gathered, along with other available evidence, to develop the standards. 🚨Deadline for responses 16 July 2024 🚨 All responses should come through 👉https://ow.ly/OSnp50SmhOW #MentalHealthMatters #PublicConsultation #HearMyVoice

May is #MentalHealthMonth and I find myself thinking about how we can better support friends, families, colleagues, and members in stamping out the stigma that surrounds mental health. Access to care is extremely important, but it starts with education and acceptance. Talk to your friends and colleagues. Practice self care and mindfulness. Show your support. Reach out. #inThisTogether

Prioritizing your mental wellness isn't just about feeling good; it's about unlocking your full potential, improving relationships, and enhancing overall quality of life. So, why wait? Start investing in your mental health today for a happier, healthier tomorrow.

Head to the link here to learn more about these options, including a Latinx therapy resource, a mental health collective dedicated to Black mental wellness, and Charlie Health’s BIPOC-specific programming: https://lnkd.in/e9FTDtCs. #CharlieHealth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #BIPOCMHAM #BIPOCMentalHealthAwarenessMonth #BIPOCMentalHealthAwarenessMonth2024
