We all know breathing is important. But have you ever stopped to think about how breathing can impact your overall wellbeing? 🧠 Actively engaging in specific breathing techniques, also known as breathwork, offers many potential benefits – from reduced stress to improved sleep, mood and memory. The great news? Breathwork can be done at any time, from anywhere, whether you're in the comfort of your home or the office! Taking just 10 minutes to practice breathwork in the middle of the workday can help you recharge and refocus. Want to learn more about breathwork? We thought so! Join us Tuesday, July 23, at 11 am ET as we attempt to set the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the largest mindfulness livestream. Mike Maher, from Take a Deep Breath, YouTube’s largest breathwork channel, will host a 10-minute breathwork session.  ⌚ Take a break (and a breath) and be a part of history. Learn more at mindstreamlive.com. #WorkplaceMentalHealth #WorkplaceWellbeing #WorldRecord #Mindfulness #Breathwork

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month – a time to acknowledge and work to dismantle mental health disparities and stigmas within BIPOC communities. Common roadblocks to mental health care may include: 🚧 Implicit bias and discrimination within the healthcare system 🚧 SDoH factors that limit awareness of and access to care options 🚧 Generational stigmas that overshadow the importance of mental health support While dismantling roadblocks to care is a heavy lift, employers can help team members overcome these hurdles with a proactive approach to workforce mental health. This looks like: ✅ Open discussions about mental health in the workplace and available support resources ✅ A mental health program that offers culturally competent care and caters to the unique needs of each individual ✅ Proactive outreach to employees experiencing hardships ✅ Training for managers to equip them with knowledge and tools to address mental health concerns Together, we can raise awareness and break down the stigmas surrounding mental health care for all.

Hearing relatable stories from peers on social media can help reduce the stigma around mental health challenges and offer a sense of community. However, there is a significant risk of misinformation, inaccurate self-diagnosis and a false sense of support. In addition, algorithms and trending topics can lead to an echo chamber – a never-ending stream of mental health posts reinforcing similar ideas and perhaps leading to even more distress and misinformed self-diagnosis. 🤳 People of all ages need to seek individualized care from an expert who can offer assessment, diagnosis and an appropriate care plan. An employer-provided EAP is a great avenue for immediate and no-cost mental health care – without relying on the TikTok algorithm. CuraLinc is proud to offer personalized support for participants of all ages – enabling participants, families and providers to face mental health challenges as a team. 🤝 https://lnkd.in/eZXG3bF4 #TeenMental #MentalHealthCare

There's still a stigma around men's mental health, with many men and boys feeling pressured to hide their emotions and always appear strong. But mental health concerns aren't a sign of weakness.

A recent survey found that 59% of neurodivergent employees don’t disclose their mental health condition out of fear it will negatively affect them at work. This isn't surprising when you consider around 32% of respondents said their accommodation request was denied and 23% reported losing their job or getting demoted after putting in a request. Everyone wins when employees are comfortable disclosing their mental health conditions and confident their employer can work with them to implement appropriate accommodations. Wondering what specific actions your organization can take to help neurodivergent employees feel confident asking for what they need to thrive in the workplace? ✨ Create an open and supportive environment by discussing mental health and consistently promoting all the tools and resources available to assist employees ✨ Work with your employee mental health provider to offer training so leaders across the organization understand neurodivergence, common accommodations and how they can best support employees ✨ Establish an employee resource group (ERG) for neurodivergent employees to help foster community and provide a safe space for discussion ✨ Solicit feedback from neurodivergent employees and remain dedicated to continuously learning and improving Putting the right programs, processes and resources in place can help employees feel comfortable and confident asking for what they need to do their best work. https://lnkd.in/gzkT8XSb #Neurodivergence #EmployeeMentalHealth #WorkplaceMentalHealth
