With almost 30 percent of German adults struggling with mental health in a year, it's crucial to raise awareness. We must create a supportive environment. That's why I took part in the MHFA Ersthelfer Mental Health First Aid training and am now a certified Mental Health First Aider. MHFA teaches us to recognize, understand, and assist those facing mental health challenges. We have learned to recognize problems early, find access to those affected, and help others overcome a mental health crisis. We now know how to provide support and information, encourage professional help, and activate additional resources. This training is instructive and important, for the people around us - and for ourselves. It's okay not to be okay. Seeking help is a sign of strength. Check it out and become a Mental Health First Aider yourself.   #mhfa #MentalHealthAwareness #WorkplaceWellness #Mentalhealth #Wellbeing #BreakTheStigma Thanks to my employer Vattenfall for making this training possible. 

As someone deeply committed to supporting our heroes, I’m excited to share that we've launched a new module focused on mental health awareness—with a special emphasis on suicide prevention.

This module is incredibly close to my heart, and I’m proud to be a part of a movement that’s equipping first responders with the tools to make a real difference and save lives. Let’s work together to create a more resilient, supportive community. #FirstResponders #MentalHealthMatters #SuicidePrevention #SupportOurHeroes #Training #Resilience #EndTheStigma #Wellness #FirstRespondersResilience

Breaking the Stigma Around Mental Health: A Call for Awareness and Support In today's fast-paced world, mental health is as crucial as physical well-being, yet it's often overlooked. The stigma surrounding mental health issues can prevent individuals from seeking help, leading to a silent struggle. By fostering open conversations and creating supportive environments, we can break this stigma and encourage others to prioritize their mental well-being. Whether through professional counseling, peer support, or self-care practices, mental health should be a priority for all of us. Let’s work together to promote awareness and advocate for accessible mental health services in our communities. #MentalHealthMatters #SupportAndAwareness #EndTheStigma

May is Mental Health Awareness Month This national observance was started in 1949 by Mental Health America to bring attention to the importance of mental well-being. This is a time to promote awareness, offer education and resources, and advocate for change. While society is getting more comfortable discussing mental health, stigma still exists. 💡Many Americans do not have access to high-quality, evidence-based treatment and care when they need it. 💡 Less than ½ of adults in the United States with mental illness received treatment in 2021. 💡1 in 5 adults experience mental illness each year. 💡1 in 6 youth in the United Stated have a mental health condition but only half receive treatment. Please take the time to talk about mental health and to create communities that value and support mental well-being. #MHAM2024 #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #selfcare #mindset #wellness #mentalwellbeing #stopthestigma

Building resilience starts with understanding and managing your emotions. Together, we're breaking barriers and fostering a supportive mental health community for first responders. #emotionalwellbeing #mentalhealth #firstresponders #FRRP #fire #ems #police #dispatch
