Puppies at work - can it get better than this? To wrap up Mental Health and Wellbeing week, PA colleagues in London took some time to unwind with some furry friends - Russian Toys. Wish I had been able to go! It reminded us how powerful simple moments can be for our mental health: stroking or spending time with a pet, talking to a stranger on a walk, or really listening to colleagues at work. Simple moments can be really powerful for the mind, and help us into doing our best work.

🌍 World Mental Health Day 2024 🌿   At Camphill Communities of Ireland, we are dedicated to nurturing not just the people we care for, but also our incredible team. Today, on World Mental Health Day, we unite with the World Health Organization to shine a light on the vital link between mental health and the workplace.   Our CEO, Louise Gorman, shares this message with us today: "On this Mental Health Wellbeing Day, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the importance of mental well-being in our lives and work. Our mental health is just as vital as our physical health, and taking time to prioritise it is essential for our overall productivity and happiness. Let’s remember to support one another, seek help when needed, and create an environment where everyone feels safe to share their struggles. Together, we can foster a culture of understanding and resilience.   Take a moment today for yourself—whether it’s a walk, a chat with a colleague, or simply some quiet time. Your well-being matters, and we are here for each other. Thank you for all that you do."   Together, we can build a healthier future for everyone—inside and outside of work. 💚   #WorldMentalHealthDay #WorkplaceWellbeing #MentalHealthMatters #CamphillCommunitiesofIreland #CareForTheCarers #CommunityAndCare #StrongerTogether #EmpoweringLivesEnrichingCommunities #JoinTheJourneyTransformLives 

On this World Mental Health Day, where the theme is workplace mental health, I want to acknowledge something not often spoken about—feeling isolated, even in a busy environment. My previous workplace arranged events, vibrant campaigns, and moments designed to bring people together for World Mental Health Day. But the reality is, that the people most in need of support are often the ones who shy away. I’ve been that person, showing up to support others, and offering encouragement when I had very little left to give. It’s strange how a crowded workplace can still feel so lonely. Sometimes, all the awareness events can do is remind us that we don’t quite have it together, making us feel even more disconnected. I was lucky to have a colleague who saw beyond my mask and told me to get the help I needed. But what about those who don’t have that support? What about the people, like so many in the Childless not-by-choice (CNBC) community, who may already feel unseen or marginalised? Working from home, often alone, today is another reminder to check in with ourselves and each other. Whether you’re part of a team or working solo like me, don’t wait for someone to reach out. If you have the energy, be the one who checks in. A small gesture, a meme, or a virtual cuppa can be the lifeline someone needs. We can all benefit from shifting the focus on this World Mental Health Day. It’s not always about waiting for those who need help to ask; sometimes, it’s about being the person who has enough in their tank to do the asking. And when you do, ask twice—how are you, really? And just like the safety instructions on a flight, we need to remember to fit our own masks before helping others. Taking care of your mental health isn't just a cliché—it's essential, especially on days like #WorldMentalHealthDay. 📷 From a rather witty (I thought) way of delivering in-flight health & safety messages on a recent flight. #Shinealightcoaching #CNBC #ChildlessNotByChoice #WorldMentalHealthDay #WorkplaceWellbeing #YouAreNotAlone #MentalHealthAwareness #AcceptanceAndHealing #CNBCHearts #WeAreWorthy

🌍 World Mental Health Day 2024: Let’s Make Work a Happy Place! 💼 Each year, the WHO shares a theme for World Mental Health Day, so this year, we're shining a spotlight on mental health in the workplace. Since World Mental Health Day was yesterday, and we didn't get this post out, we are taking our own advice and giving ourselves a beak as we share this important message with you today! In today's fast-paced, often intense workplace, let’s create a workplace where everyone feels supported, valued, and ready to take on the day. That’s the goal! Here are some ways to make it happen: 🤝 Talk it out: Let's create a space where it's okay to talk about mental health. Open conversations can make a huge difference. 💚 Self-care matters: Encourage your team to take breaks, practice mindfulness, and prioritize their well-being. A happy mind leads to a productive team. 🧑🏫 Lead the way: Managers, let’s show our team how it’s done. By prioritizing our own mental health, we're setting a great example. Together, we can build a workplace that's not just productive but also positive and supportive. 💚 Want to learn more? Join us for a Mental Health First Aid Training on October 19th at the IIPC.

🌟 Let's Talk Mental Health 🌟 May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and here at Draeger, we're committed to fostering a supportive workplace culture where mental well-being is a top priority. As the Head of Draeger HR North America, I believe it's crucial to open up conversations about mental health in the workplace. Every one of us faces challenges, and it's okay not to be okay sometimes. That's why we encourage our team members to prioritize self-care, reach out for support when needed, and destigmatize seeking help for mental health concerns. This month, we're focusing on raising awareness, providing resources, and promoting initiatives that support mental well-being. Whether it's through mindfulness workshops, employee assistance programs, or simply checking in with colleagues, we're dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for all. Remember, taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Let's continue to support each other, break down barriers, and prioritize mental well-being not just this month, but every day. Together, we can make a difference. 💙 #MentalHealthAwareness #DraegerCares #EndTheStigma
