Nurturing young #mentalhealth professionals is essential for both personal and societal wellness. These emerging experts are the future of mental health care, and supporting their development brings many benefits. Firstly, it ensures consistent care as experienced practitioners retire, guaranteeing reliable services for those in need. Additionally, backing young professionals drives innovation and progress in the field, empowering them to improve interventions. Overall, investing in their growth means better mental health services for communities, making our system more resilient and inclusive. Nurturing young professionals is vital for building a better mental health care system that meets the needs of individuals and communities today and tomorrow. #wellness💚

This Mental Health Awareness Month, 5D Consulting Group reminds you that prioritizing mental health is essential in today’s fast-paced world. 📊 Startling Statistics: Nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults live with a mental illness (NIH, 2022). Despite this, less than half receive treatment. The global burden of mental health disorders is projected to reach 15% by 2030, underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive mental health care solutions. 🔹 Understanding Your Needs: Mental health is as critical as physical health. It’s important to recognize when you need to pause, seek support, or recharge. 🔹 Creating Supportive Environments: At 5D Consulting Group, we are dedicated to creating environments where mental health is actively supported and nurtured. We aim to transform healthcare spaces to prioritize mental well-being for patients and providers. 🔹 Empowering Through Technology: We leverage cutting-edge AI-driven tools to support mental health initiatives, empowering patients, and healthcare professionals to effectively manage and improve mental wellness. Let's all commit to making mental health a priority.

Mental Health Awareness Both mental and physical health absences have a huge impact on the workforce, with employees taking an average of ten days off per year between the two. Mental and physical health support might appear to be separate challenges, but research consistently shows that physical activity is the number one intervention for improving mental health. Moving more at work doesn’t require specialist equipment - just willing role models in leadership and an inclusive, supportive and flexible culture that recognises movement in all its forms. ▶ https://lnkd.in/eF9NQpQ5

In Headspace’s annual report on workforce trends, over half of employees said their employer’s diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) policy has a positive impact on their mental health. So, how can organizations build a mental health strategy that centers DEIB and supports all employees? My client Prisma Health shares their experience in our upcoming webinar:  https://lnkd.in/e4cRXi8D

We all have a responsibility to prioritise our own mental health and to support people we care about. Alongside this, feeling supported and that your wellbeing is taken seriously at work is extremely important. At STRI Group we’re committed to prioritising mental health and decided that World Mental Health Day gave us a perfect opportunity to take positive action, so we’ve signed up to the ‘Mental Health at Work Commitment.’ Created by Mind, the commitment is a pledge to work through a framework which sets standards and puts processes in place to prioritise mental health for every team member. To find out more about the commitment, visit the link here: https://lnkd.in/djyzQJF We are now working on a plan to deliver actions against each of the commitments in the next twelve months and beyond, and will engage with employees through our employee council to make sure our plan is tailored to their needs. Today is a great reminder that you don’t always know what challenges people are facing or how they are feeling, so if you can be anything, be kind. #worldmentalhealthday
