Delighted to speak at the #Sharingthevision conference on #mentalhealth policy in Ireland today. Lots of the focus on mental health in Ireland is on the importance of early intervention and prevention. Also good to see emphasis on actions across lifecourse in Ireland, with a recognition of need for more to be done on youth mental health. Economic arguments can help support the moral and human case for action; I highlighted some examples of actions that can be taken - early intervention teams for psychosis, early intervention for eating disorders, many different preventive measures across the lifecourse. Important to take a whole of a multi-sectoral approach - examples of this include investment in supported employment and education initiatives, as well as access to independent housing. https://lnkd.in/eVxf8sFF

🌸Slay the Stigma, Build Your Crown: Why Mental Health and Self-Esteem Are BFFs!🌸 Maureen Kritzer-Lange here, with a topic that hits close to my heart: mental health and how it intertwines with that all-important royal accessory – self-esteem! CLICK HERE FOR FULL VIDEO: https://shorturl.at/artV4 Now, readers, Selena Gomez, that talented and stunning human being, recently opened up about her mental health journey on the Today Show. Let me tell you, it resonated deeply. We all know the pressure young people face today, and mental health battles are no fairy tale. Selena highlighted the importance of connection – which is key! We all need our village, our support system. But here's the truth: sometimes, those "connections" online can be more of a frenemy than a friend. Here's where self-esteem enters the throne room. When we have a healthy dose of self-love, we can build healthy online boundaries. We don't get caught up in comparison games or unrealistic portrayals. We curate our social media feeds to empower us, not tear us down. This resonates especially with those of you, my self esteem queens, who might be struggling with disordered eating. Negative self-talk and social media pressures can be a brutal combination. But remember, true beauty radiates from within, and that inner light comes from self-acceptance and mental well-being. Just like Selena, who uses her platform to raise awareness through Rare Beauty, let's all be advocates for ourselves and each other. Let's talk openly about mental health, break the stigma, and build that self-esteem like a glittering crown. Remember, your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Take care of yourself, connect with your village, and remember – you are worthy, you are strong, and you are RARE! #selfesteem #TodayShow #thequeenofselfesteem #mentalhealth #buildyourvillage

A great listen to understand the harrowing journey of severe mental illness and why we need to reform how we talk about it, the policies that govern care for it and the system which is currently running off the rails in an attempt to overcome so many barriers (created with good intentions, but having severe consequences for the sick and their loved ones!) #mentalhealthreform #mentalhealthcare #stopnlisten
