#Mentalhealth is a crucial challenge for our societies now and in the future, luckily we are more and more conscious of these matters, and more open to “talk about it”. Our OPADE project is bridging between biology and mental condition to enchance the efficacy of antidepressant treatment

🧠 May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Did you know that 1 in 3 people in our metro area experience symptoms of chronic depression?* To help, Women United has teamed up with Region 6 Behavioral Healthcare to expand Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training.

Honoring International Overdose Awareness Day 💜 🕊️ Remembering, Supporting, and Advocating: On this day, we remember those we have lost, stand with their loved ones, and continue to advocate for better mental health resources, access to treatment, and comprehensive support systems. 👥 A Holistic Approach to Healing: Overdose is a tragic outcome of the complex interplay between mental health challenges and substance use. This day reminds us of the urgency to address both aspects through a holistic approach. By providing support, resources, and a safe space, we can contribute to preventing future tragedies. 💡 Education and Empowerment: Education is our ally in preventing overdose and promoting mental well-being. By sharing accurate information, we empower individuals to make informed decisions and seek help when needed. Knowledge is a powerful tool for change. 🤝 Let's honor International Overdose Awareness Day by joining hands to raise awareness, spread compassion, and contribute to a world where mental health is prioritized. Together, we can make a difference. 🕊️🌏 #OverdoseAwarenessDay #MentalHealthMatters #TogetherForChange #depressionawareness

Staggering numbers. As healthcare professionals, let's resolve to end stigma around mental health by offering empathy versus judgement, compassion versus criticism. Mental health challenges are more prevalent than we may realize, with 1 in 4 people around us struggling on a daily basis. Let's create safe environments where seeking mental health help is normalized. Let's also move away from harmful labels. Someone is not "schizophrenic" or "bipolar" or "depressed" or "anxious" - they merely have a diagnosis and are doing their best to cope. Let's help them heal. Proud to work for Valleywise Health that creates healing environments.

Every year, 1 in 4 of us will experience ill mental health. But too many of us aren’t getting the help we need. Over 2 million people are waiting for NHS mental health services, and, since 2017 the number of young people struggling with their mental health has nearly doubled. People feel overwhelmed and hopeless ... they need support right now. Mental Health Awareness Week runs from 13 to 19 May 2024 and, for this year, Mind is launching #NoMindLeftBehind. They are calling on us to raise awareness and vital funds for a future where everyone can get quality mental health care when needed. Together we can build a better future for generations to come. One where mental health and the many ways it can impact all of us, is treated, here and now. Get involved here: https://lnkd.in/ejSMziAM Get information and support here: https://lnkd.in/eTiabZyW

Today is the start of Mental Health Awareness Week 🤝 According to Mind, every year, 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem. However, the number of us who receive the necessary help and support is significantly lower than this. Here are some things AS want to reaffirm this week: 🧠 Self-care isn’t selfish and it certainly doesn’t have to be expensive. Why not go for a walk during your lunch break, or write three things you are grateful for every morning? 🧠 Breaking the silence begins with breaking the stigma. Let's reaffirm our commitment to ending the stigma surrounding mental health challenges in the legal profession. 🧠 There is strength in solidarity. It is no secret that the legal community is growing incredibly well, and now is the best time to connect and support one another. As we begin Mental Health Awareness Week, let's remember to prioritise empathy, compassion, and open dialogue in our journey to break the stigma surrounding mental health challenges. #MentalHealthWeek2024 #AspiringSolicitors

🌟 May is here, and with it comes an important opportunity to shine a light on Mental Health Awareness Month! 🌟 As we start this month-long journey of reflection, education, and advocacy, let's remember that mental health is a crucial part of our overall well being. Now, more than ever, it's crucial to break the stigma surrounding mental health and prioritize self-care. Whether it's reaching out for support, practicing mindfulness, or simply checking in with ourselves and loved ones, every action counts. Let's use this month to amplify voices, share resources, and foster a culture of empathy and understanding. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by mental health challenges and work towards a world where everyone feels supported and empowered. Join me in raising awareness, spreading kindness, and promoting mental health for all! 💙 #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #SelfCare #YouAreNotAlone
