Happy World Mental Health Day! This year's theme is "It is Time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace". "Employed adults spend more time working than any other activity during their waking hours. In a myriad ways, and at its best, work can provide a livelihood and be a source of meaning, purpose, and joy. However, for too many people, work falls far short of its potential, failing to enhance our lives and detracting from our mental health. We must highlight various aspects of mental health at work, from workplace conditions and stress management to the importance of social inclusion and empowerment. The goal is clear: to champion mental health in the workplace and build best practices that create cultures where workers have the potential to contribute productively and thrive." - https://buff.ly/47mS2IG People USA’s Wellness Committee is an extension of the organization’s investment in and commitment to overall staff wellness. The committee operates on the shared values of respect, fairness, confidentiality, community, leadership, and growth. The committee recently launched their "8 Dimensions of Wellness Program," focusing each month on a different element of holistic wellness while promoting team bonding. We are proud to be practicing what we preach with our internal staff in order to "help the helpers" at our organization! #WorldMentalHealthDay #PrioritizeMentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthintheworkplace #8DimensionsofWellness #HumanRights #PeopleUSA #PeopleUSANow #Mentalhealth #Advocacy #Peers #WellnessServices #Community #Support #Recovery #Sobriety #Prevention #Hope #RoadToMentalWellness #NewYork
