 🌟Mental Health Awareness Week: Supporting Our Community 🌟 Today let’s focus on the power of support within our communities. By supporting small businesses, charities, and our community, we can create a ripple effect of positivity and well-being. 🛍️ Support Small Businesses: Our local businesses are the backbone of our communities. By shopping locally, we not only boost the economy but also foster a sense of belonging and support. 💖 Support Charities: Charities play a crucial role in providing essential services and support to those in need. Consider donating your time, resources, or funds to a cause close to your heart. 👥 Supporting People: Sometimes, the best support we can offer is a simple act of kindness. Reach out to your neighbors, friends, and family. A small gesture can make a big difference. Together, we can build a stronger, more supportive community. Let’s make this Mental Health Awareness Week a time of connection and compassion. 💚 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #SupportLocal #CommunitySupport #SmallBusinesses #Charity #MentalHealthMatters #totallypsyched

I run a non-profit called the Half a Sorrow Foundation. We get our name from the old proverb that goes like this: A shared joy is a double joy; a shared sorrow is half a sorrow. ------ Our mission is to improve mental health for individuals and organizations by promoting real conversations. We focus on suicide prevention, but the real target is the stigma that surrounds mental health. Stigma goes away, and we share more of our sorrows. You see how it works. ----- We are a 501(c)3 organization, and if you donate to us in December, we will mail you a paperback version of our book. It has to be 25 dollars or over, as I can see some scammers giving a dollar and demanding the book. Anything can happen on the interweb. ----- Here is where you can donate: https://lnkd.in/giUpt7rz You are the best. #appreciateyou! #mentalhealth #suicideprevention #bookatalk

If people would only realise that mental health services and charities are the link to all the other charities and can support them all, and also increase the others successes… for example, many mental health sufferers struggle to maintain routine and clean their teeth… no amount of education will change that, mental health support however, can… The other charities you could vote for, when they occur and are bad, often the majority need mental health support for them and their families to cope… which also further increases the odds of successful treatments and surgeries… while also increasing the standard of mental aftercare! But mental health services also aid in people becoming healthier, more active and less likely to contract the issues other charities support… thus aiding in prevention and causing the other charities to have less strain on them and need less resources to have great success… The brain, is the most important aspect of the body… it doesn’t just retain information… it also promotes or demotes physical health, decision making and ability to cope with stress and daily life…

Hey, brainiacs! I'm taking part in the push up challenge for Mental Health. Here are some funny reasons why you should donate to this awesome cause: 1) Because life is hard and people need help to cope 2) Brains are squishy and mushy, but science shows you can reshape them no matter how old you get. 3) Working out keeps me sane, so I won't freak out at you 4) It's the biggest fundraising event for mental health in Australia 5) Stick one to the man and get some money back for doing good! The Push for Better Foundation is a legit charity in Australia and you can claim your donation on your taxes. (ABN 49645093349) 6) I also put my money where my mouth is, so you know it's good stuff.

At the Randal Charitable Foundation one of our core pillars of support is 'mental ill health', which is why Mental Health Awareness Week is such an important campaign for the life-saving work we deliver with our charitable partners. We focus on supporting causes that provide intervention, which tackles the root causes of mental ill-health. This includes helping people living with severe mental health difficulties to recover and then prosper, as well as providing assistance to young people, families and those who find themselves disadvantaged through no fault of their own. We also support causes which come to the aid of those suffering loneliness and isolation.   Another key focus area is helping the most in need in-order-to prevent suicides, which claim thousands of lives each year in the UK alone. Examples of our work in this area have seen significant support for technology development of a suicide prevention app, the provision of a text service for vulnerable young people and face-to-face appointments with mental health volunteers, as well as support with service and staffing costs to enable the life-saving work of mental health and suicide prevention charities to continue.   Breaking the cycle of addiction, which destroys lives and affects the whole family, is another priority, and our work in this area is helping addicts to recover, and their families to rebuild their lives.
