10 ways to take part in World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day is here, and with it, an opportunity to raise the profile of mental health care around the world.

Happening on 10th October each year, the day encourages all of us to take a moment to check in with our own mental health, and the ways we can support the mental health of the people around us too. This year, the theme has been set by The World Federation For Mental Health as “It is time to prioritize mental health in the workplace.”

We are excited to contribute to raising awareness of this theme. As an organisation working hard to support the mental health of professionals and business teams to prioritise mental wellness and prevent burnout, our aim is to embed positive mental health practices in a way that’s practical and beneficial for all. Tania Diggory, Founder & Director of Calmer, believes “your mind is your business’ greatest asset”. It’s time for us to celebrate this' years’ World Mental Health Day, and this article provides you with a list of ways you can get involved too.
