Karen Goslin & Associates’ Post

Today is World Mental Health Day, an initiative that began in 1992 to destigamtize and prioritorize mental health and well being. This year's theme is: 'It is Time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace ' How would you rate the mental health support in your work? We are evolving toward flexbile hours, hybrid work spaces, wellness programs, nap rooms, sports activities, toward working to live. But, long work hours are still obvious, rigid hierarchies still exist, glass ceilings are still there, stigma exists, etc. I was a victim to a toxic work environment. In my Upcoming Book: " Yellow Paint: Learning to Live Again" I discuss the impacts of that and the contribution it made to my catastrophic health crisis. Yep, it gets serious. Dialectial Behavioral Theory equates a toxic relationship with drug and alcohol abuse. Poison is Poison is Poison. Don't get me wrong. I worked with wonderful people. Extremely skilled clinicians. There were key elements of mental health unidentified and/ misunderstood at that time. But now we know more, don't we? #accountability #mentalhealth #karengoslinrsw #yellowpaint #therapy #TorontoTherapy #healthyworkplaces #HealthyWorkplaces #healthyworkplacesforall #healthyworkplacestoronto
