💡Did you know that May is Mental Health Awareness Month? Recently, I had the opportunity to share my thoughts through Bank of America's Intergenerational Employee Network on how millenials and future generations are reshaping the conversations around mental health in the workplace. As we continue to expand these conversations around #mentalhealthawareness, we must remember that mental health is just as important as physical health. In the workplace and beyond, it's crucial to prioritize mental well-being and create supportive environments where everyone feels #valued and heard. Let's #breakthestigma surrounding mental health by fostering open conversations, promoting #selfcare practices, and providing #resources for support. Together, we can build a culture of compassion and understanding that #empowers individuals to seek help when needed and thrive both personally and professionally. 🧠💚 #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #WellnessMatters

🧠 Your mind matters to us at Parallax. Navigating mental health isn’t a straightforward path; it's a personal journey that varies for each and every individual. That’s why there can’t be a one-size-fits-all solution. Along with providing discounted access to a suite of apps, our holistic approach also includes: 📒 Mental Health First Aid training to upskill and empower staff 🗣️ Mental Health advocates who provide a first point of contact 🔗 Tailored support when it's needed. We believe giving more support to those who need it, proportionate to their own circumstances, helps ensure everyone has the same opportunities 🤝 Subsidised counselling and CBT for additional professional support 🧑🤝🧑 Regular 1:1s, which focus on more than just work projects 👀 Team awareness sessions to ensure Parallax remains an inclusive place to work 🟰 Equality, Diversity and Inclusion embedded as standard throughout our practices And the one often missing; realistic scheduling. We know it’s not realistic to expect our people to work solidly with no time to join meetings, take breaks, or spend time learning. Realistic scheduling helps us feel less stressed at work, and that’s better for us, our families, and our clients too.

Is the stigma around mental health in the workplace still a barrier to progress? 🤔 As a NYC educator transitioning into mental health therapy, I’ve seen how misconceptions can silence crucial conversations. But what if we could change this narrative⁉️ In my years in education, I noticed colleagues silently struggling with mental health issues, afraid to seek help due to fear of judgment. This not only affected their well-being but also their performance. It struck me how little we talk about mental health in professional settings, and how big an impact this silence can have. Here’s the pivot: We need to cultivate a culture of openness and support in the workplace. This involves not just policy changes, but a shift in how we view mental health. It’s about creating an environment where employees feel safe to discuss their mental health without fear of stigma. I call upon leaders in small businesses, community organizations, and schools to join me in this movement. - - - Let’s make mental health a priority in our workplaces. 💻 Visit https://lnkd.in/e4Bz4Ysw to learn how we can implement these changes together. #k12education #publichealth #healingtrauma #mentalhealthadvocacy #restorativepractices
