Only 36% of referrals to NHS talking therapies are for men. For Men’s health week we are asking men to pause and have a real conversation around their mental health and what they could get out of therapy? Here are some resources to help kick start that conversation. Men's Health Network- https://lnkd.in/gww_RTrU Movember Foundation - https://lnkd.in/ggcy-CY Getting Therapy Through Work: XRT-Community - https://lnkd.in/eBg4h9gF Let's break the stigma and encourage men to prioritize their mental health. It's a sign of strength, not weakness. #MensHealth #EmpowerChange

This Mental Awareness Week 13th - 19th May, we recognise the need for diverse positive mental health solutions.

At FIECON, we are passionate about introducing the most effective solutions for individuals facing unmet treatment needs and understand the importance of equipping everyone with the necessary knowledge and tools to support and manage their mental well-being. We're all part of an important journey where everyone has access to the care and resources they need to thrive. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MentalHealthInnovation

R U OK? Thursday, 14 September marks R U OK? Day, a yearly initiative aimed at encouraging us all to reach out and connect. From its roots in Australia, R U OK? Day has grown into an international movement dedicated to fostering conversations about mental health and well-being. Founded in 2009 by Gavin Larkin, it is an inspiring reminder that a simple question can have profound effects. Why R U OK? Day Matters Breaking Down Stigma By opening dialogues about mental health, R U OK? Day helps dismantle the societal barriers and stigmas surrounding mental illness. It’s a step towards making mental health care accessible to all who need it. Building Community Connections R U OK? Day is not just about individual connections; it’s a community-building event. By reaching out and engaging with those who might be facing challenges, we create a supportive network that goes beyond this one day. Saving Lives Perhaps the most poignant aspect of R U OK? Day is the potential to save lives. A single conversation might be the lifeline someone needs, making this day an essential part of our social responsibility. #ruokday #ruokeveryday #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness

Tomorrow is the day: Mental health in our sector must become a priority. Our stakeholders, clients, suppliers, cities, governments, and opinion leaders need to understand and acknowledge that creating "collective moments" is essential not just for a single sector, but for the entire business community. However, making such events happen requires enormous efforts and has a huge human cost. Before making others understand this, we have to understand it ourselves. We need to talk about it and face it head-on. Thank you Julius Solaris, for the workshop on this critical topic. I invite everyone to register and participate, as the first step toward a deeper and more meaningful dialogue that will enable us to live better in the future https://lnkd.in/dsR9yCad?
