Yesterday was World Mental Health Day!
Happy (late) World Mental Health Day from everyone at People First to you~
In today’s blog we will be diving into something that is close to all of our hearts: World Mental Health Day. It’s not just another date in the calendar, it is an international day for global mental health education and a day to remind us to take a moment to check in on your, and your loved one’s, mental well-being.
First celebrated in 1992 as a result of an initiative from the World Federation for Mental Health, World Mental Health Day has now become an important reminder of the importance of mental health awareness. Every year on October 10th, people all around the world come together to reflect on the mental health of themselves and their communities. By encouraging open conversations about mental health, fighting stigmatization, and promoting tolerance and understanding, the worldwide community works toward the common goal of making mental health care a reality.
We at People First acknowledge the importance of mental health awareness and believe in working together to create a world that embraces and prioritizes mental health. In fact, we have partnered with numerous organizations and brands on campaigns that bring awareness to mental health issues in various communities.
If you have not had the opportunity to participate in such campaigns but wish to participate in spreading awareness on mental health issues, you can do so by…
- Sharing information and resources about mental health
- Showing compassion and extending kindness to every individual as they navigate their mental health journey
- Reaching out to someone, anyone that you care about.
