The Canadian Mental Health Association’s annual Mental Health Week looks to shift attitudes and perceptions about mental health. The 2024 theme is #CompassionConnects which highlights the healing power of compassion. With worrying levels of stress, anxiety, and loneliness heightened by social inequality and an affordability crisis, it is easy to overlook that kindness is an integral part of our humanity. This #MentalHealthWeek, let's embrace the power of compassion! As the CMHA highlights, kindness and understanding can be a powerful force for healing. Compassion isn't just about being kind to others, it's about extending that same kindness to ourselves. Let's join in exploring how compassion can connect us all and foster a more supportive environment for mental well-being.

This week is Mental Health Week 🧠 This year’s theme, #CompassionConnects, resonates deeply with our practice at Viive. Many of our clients are caregivers to multiple generations, looking after older relatives AND young children at the same time. That demands a lot of emotional and physical energy. It’s no wonder that caregivers are at risk of burnout, depression, and anxiety. As a society, we owe caregivers the same level of compassion that they bring to their loved ones every single day. They need our compassion, recognition, and support more than ever. Check out our blog post on caregiver burnout and how to avoid it: https://lnkd.in/g4pF6wWD Canadian Mental Health Association #AgingandEndOfLifePlanning #LegacyPlanning #AgingPlanning #EndOfLifePlanning #EstatePlanning #FinancialPlanning

Today is World Mental Health Day Mental health is something we all deal with, and we are all impacted in some way. 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem of some kind each year in England, according to Mind. Have the "How are you? Are you sure?" conversation every week, not just this week. Amy Forrest says, "The team here at First Intuition are passionate advocates for mental wellness for our learners and colleagues. That's why we have dedicated members of our team trained as Mental Health First Aiders who are skilled at offering support should you need it." #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealth #HowAreYou #MentalHealthMatters

Canadian Mental Health Week is here and what better way to kick it off than by taking time for yourself? I started the week early by doing something I had not prioritized in a couple years - spending time on my own doing art. In the past few years, my home art studio has turned into my office and study room. So, it was a great feeling to take some time out to indulge in something I once loved doing. We often forget to prioritize our mental health, and this year’s MH week theme is #compassion… that includes self-compassion. What are some things YOU can do to take care of your mental health this week? #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #SelfCare #MentalHealth #CompassionConnects

Today, on World Mental Health Day (10th October), let’s take a moment to recognise the vital role mental health plays in our lives. It’s a great opportunity to encourage open conversations about our feelings and to support one another in our journeys. It is by prioritising self-care and seeking connections that we can enhance our well-being and foster resilience. Together, let’s create a supportive community that not only values mental well-being but also inspires each other to thrive and reach our fullest potential. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCare #SelfCareMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthDay #TopicalSpot #LPUOnline

Your 15 second guide to Mental Health Awareness Week: 1) Mental health fluctuates We all go between thriving, struggling and unwell. 2) Struggling and being unwell is common 16-25% of people in the UK feel this way. 3) Recovery is not just possible - but probable. Early intervention, hopefulness and community accelerate recovery. 4) Want to help? Learn how to listen and communicate non-judgementally. All. Year. Round. _____ I’m Ben. Yes. An Awareness Week is good. But I don’t settle for training in mental health that is anything less than trusted, tailored and transformative. And all year round. DM me with your questions. No 15 second limit. #fwd #mentalhealthtraining
