🌍This World Mental Health Day it’s great to be featured alongside awesome leaders from the CA profession, and business SA at large, Rochelle Murugan CA (SA), RA and Leon Gazet Du Chattelier CA(SA) in the SAICA Accountancy SA magazine. 💪At October Health we know that the best performers in the world focus on their mental fitness as much they do their physical fitness. We all know the saying that the only constant these days is change. Companies are finally seeing that to grow and retain your top talent, building resilience is critical and legacy solutions which only intervene at moments of distress are no longer sufficient. 🏆It has been great to work alongside companies like Forvis Mazars in South Africa, Milpark Education and many more across almost every sector - companies who truly care about not just supporting their employees, but helping them reach their full potential and being willing to try innovative approaches to achieve that. 📖Catch the full feature on Mental Health from page 31 in the ASA this month: https://lnkd.in/druFvjut Chartered Accountants Worldwide SAICA October Health

I'm so excited about the work we are doing at October Health with GIBS Business School (Gordon Institute of Business Science) and that business leaders all round are seeing the link between mental health and performance.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, and it’s time to challenge ourselves to think differently about mental health. 🌍 Mental health isn’t something we should address only when we’re in crisis. It’s something we can nurture daily—because every small step we take towards self-care adds up to something bigger. With 1 in 8 people globally living with a mental health disorder, it’s crucial to understand that no one is immune to the pressures of life. Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, yet nearly 75% of people with mental health disorders receive no treatment. The time to act is now, and it starts with being proactive. At October Health, we’re building more than a service—we’re building a community where mental health care is accessible, supportive, and empowering. Whether you’re managing stress, looking for personal development, or just need a safe space to talk, we’re here for every stage of your journey. Mental wellness doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all approach, and we provide personalized support to help individuals wherever they are on the spectrum of care. Join us in creating a space where mental wellness is celebrated, and support is always within reach. Together, we can make proactive care a way of life. Let’s be intentional about supporting ourselves and each other. A small investment in mental health today can lead to a lifetime of well-being. Don’t wait for the breaking point—take steps now. Together, we can create a world where mental health is treated with the same attention as physical health. #MentalHealthAwareness #ProactiveCare #WellbeingJourney #CommunityOfCare #MentalWellness
