Today we are celebrating World Mental Health Day. Why not look around you today, identify someone who may be struggling and take the time to ask the how they are. If you make the conversation meaningful and show that you really are interested in how they feel, you may never know how much that means to them. #worldmentalhealthday2024 #mentalhealthmatters

R U OK? Day serves as a reminder to check in on colleagues, friends, and loved ones. Let's prioritise mental health, foster open conversations, and support one another through life's challenges. Together, we can make a difference. #RUOKDay #MentalHealthAwareness #SupportEachOther #CivilAndScape

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we reflect on a powerful truth: mental health is as essential as physical health. Yet, too often, it goes unnoticed, and too many suffer in silence. At TICAH, we’re working to change that by cultivating spaces where mental health care is accessible and where vulnerability is met with compassion. In a world that constantly asks us to do more, what would happen if we paused to listen to ourselves and each other? How can we, in our everyday lives, create environments where checking in on one another's well-being becomes a shared responsibility? Now more than ever, mental well-being needs to be at the forefront of our conversations. This isn’t just about awareness—it’s about action. Let’s normalize seeking help, holding space for others, and building a world where mental health care is a right, not a privilege. How will you contribute to this shift today? #WorldMentalHealthDay #ListenAndSupport #MentalHealthForAll #ticahat20

🌟 In the realm of mental health, there are things we can control and things we can’t. We can choose to prioritize self-care, seek support, and cultivate positive habits. However, we can’t always dictate our thoughts or emotions, and that’s a part of being human. It’s important to embrace the journey, acknowledge the challenges, and celebrate the progress. Remember, it’s okay to seek help and take things one step at a time. 💖 #MentalHealthMatters #EmbraceTheJourney

In case you forgot...June is Men's Mental Health Month. In our industry, over 85% of the workforce is men. It's important that we acknowledge and support the emotional well-being of men and affirm their worth and humanity. By addressing mental health challenges openly and compassionately, we not only empower men to live fuller, more authentic lives but also create stronger, more resilient communities. It's about breaking down barriers, fostering understanding, and ultimately, ensuring that no one feels alone in their struggle. #menmattertoo #mentalhealthawareness #constructionlivesmatter
