🌟 R U OK? Day 2024 🌟 Whilst R U OK? Day on Thursday September 12 is our National Day of Action; we encourage you to Ask R U OK? Any Day of the year because a conversation could change a life. Today, take a moment to reflect on the importance of mental health and the power of a simple conversation. In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, but reaching out to a colleague, friend, or loved one can make all the difference. 💬 Ask the Question: Sometimes, the most meaningful way to show you care is by asking, "R U OK?" It's a question that opens the door to genuine conversation and can provide much-needed support to those around us. 🤝 Listen Actively: Be present and listen without judgment. Offering a compassionate ear can help someone feel understood and valued, and it can be a crucial step towards their well-being. 💡 Take Action: If someone does share that they're struggling, encourage them to seek professional help or connect with resources available in your community. Remember, a small gesture can have a big impact. #RUOKDay2024 #MentalHealthMatters #SupportEachOther #WorkplaceWellbeing #CommunityCare

As a founder, I can vouch that at times my mental health has been in the toilet! One thing I always say to myself when I’m feeling low: “Move to change your mood.” Mental health, like physical health, is on a spectrum. Understanding where you’re mental health is at can be challenging to accept or to be proactive to make any changes, but every step you take towards positive changes can make a big difference. For me it starts with moving small and often. Let’s keep moving forward together! 💪🧠 #MentalHealthAwareness #MoveToChangeYourMood #Wellbeing #FounderLife #FrameOnline

Small acts can make a big difference! As we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month, let's reflect on the impact of kindness in our workplaces. Every day, we have chances to help each other out instead of trying to be better than one another. By doing this, we build a community where we all improve together. It's about working together and supporting each other, not about competing. When we focus on helping, we all win. Have you ever had a leader or teammate whose simple actions helped you do better and become better? Share your story, tag them and let them know that you appreciate them! #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #kindnessmatters #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalillness #mentalhealthjourney #mentallyme

R U OK? Day 2024 | Keeping the Conversation Going 💬💛 Yesterday, we marked R U OK?? Day, but let’s not forget that supporting mental health is something we can do every day. At AWB Co, we believe in fostering a culture of care and connection and always finding the right time to check in with those around us. Even though R U OK Day has passed, the theme “Are they really OK? Ask them today” still resonates. Make it a habit to follow the recommended four steps to start a conversation by reaching out, listening, encouraging action, and checking in with your colleagues, friends, and loved ones—you never know how much a simple conversation can mean. Let’s continue building a supportive environment for everyone. #RUOKDay #MentalHealthMatters #AWBCo #StartTheConversation #WorkplaceWellbeing #CommunityCare #AreYouOK

I didn’t even realise today was #InternationalMensDay until I came across a post by Elliott Rae highlighting some of the reasons why this campaign is so important—many of which centre on issues like mental health and isolation. These are challenges that also underscore the value of initiatives like #GQM, which I had the pleasure of attending this summer, led by the inspiring Robert King-Sarfo. One of my biggest takeaways from that event was the importance of staying connected and fostering meaningful relationships. Even as a self-proclaimed extrovert and chatterbox, I sometimes find it challenging to prioritise this. So, here’s your reminder to send that text, meet up with your friends, and have those honest, vulnerable conversations. They matter more than you might realise. #MensHealth #MentalHealth #PositiveMasculinity #MandemNeedHugsToo

My favourite kind of conversations are with people who are willing to make changes to make everyone’s life easier, after all people should care about how their actions can impact others. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

James Knott, the founder of Man Made, a dedicated men’s mental health and well-being support group, recently spoke with VIBE 107.6FM about the critical work his organisation is doing and the profound impact it’s having on the local community. In his conversation, James emphasized the urgent need for spaces where men can openly talk about their mental health struggles. He shared how Man Made provides a safe, non-judgmental environment, offering support through group discussions and activities. James highlighted that, while there is growing awareness around mental health, men often face barriers when it comes to seeking help. Societal pressures and stigmas surrounding men’s mental health can make it difficult for them to ask for support. That’s where Man Made comes in, creating a community where men can feel heard, supported, and empowered to take control of their mental well-being. Throughout the interview, James discussed the positive ripple effect Man Made has had, not only helping individuals but also fostering a stronger sense of connection within the community. The group's ongoing efforts are breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and encouraging men to prioritize their well-being. Spaces like Man Made are so important, James explained, because they provide men with the tools and support they need to navigate life’s challenges. Whether through workshops, peer support, or simply being around others who understand, Man Made is making a tangible difference in improving mental health and fostering a more open, supportive environment for men to thrive.
