How to Prioritize Mental Health in the New Year As professionals, we set big goals—achieving more, working harder, reaching new heights. But without mental health, none of it matters. In 2025, let’s:  • Pause and reflect: Take a moment to check in with yourself. • Set boundaries: Respect your limits to maintain balance. • Curate your care: Invest in your well-being so you can show up stronger (for your clients and patients). Taking care of your mental health is an investment in yourself and the work you do.

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

Taking care of mental health looks different for everyone, and it includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being – essential to a person's overall health and quality of life. For Leanne Miller (Haggerty), a member of Organon’s Commercial Innovation team, taking care of her mental health means prioritizing the little things, whether that’s enjoying a midday espresso outside or walking her dog. Take a glimpse into Leanne’s day. Tell us, how do you prioritize your mental health? #WorldMentalHealthDay #WomensHealth

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

Every year, for about a decade, I’ve had the privilege of delivering key messages for #WorldMentalHealthDay. Pictured here was about 8 years ago on stage delivering key messages to about 3000 people at an event on health and wellbeing. An analogy when discussing the topic I give is with physical health you’ll ask the person with a cast on their arm if they’re okay, if they need help, what happened etc. However with mental health you do not always get those visual cues. “How are you” goes a long way. Each year, this day serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of understanding, empathy, and support for those around us. In our busy lives, it’s easy to overlook what others may be going through. Personal struggles often go unseen, but recognizing each other's unique circumstances is vital. A kind word, a listening ear, or a gesture of support can make all the difference. Together, we can create a culture of care and compassion. Use today to ask “how are you”. #WorldMentalHealthDay2024

Empower yourself by taking back your control.

Finding balance between social media and mental health is crucial for teens in today's society. During one of our #teentalk sessions, we explored tips for staying connected while protecting your mental well-being. Teens learned how to set healthy boundaries, avoid mindless scrolling, stay present in real life, practice self-care, and manage online pressure. #socialmediatips #mentalhealth #teenmentalhealth

🌟 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
