World Mental Health Day

Today we are celebrating World Mental Health Day – as a grassroots organisation this is an important opportunity to promote mental health for every community across the globe.

This year’s theme is ‘It is time to prioritise mental health in the workplace.’ In an increasingly busy world with huge pressures on individuals, families, and businesses, we must recognise and focus on the benefits of good mental health at work.

Here at Jaya, most of our projects involve frontline settings including hospitals and rural health posts, and supporting the nurses and health workers under huge pressure to care for their communities, often with limited support and resources.

This World Mental Health Day we want to reinforce the message that good mental health in the workplace benefits our global society and every responsible employer should prioritise this. Workplaces are all about the people in them. When we care for, and support our people – everyone wins!
