This World Mental Health Day, we are raising awareness about the importance of mental well-being and the impact it has on our everyday lives. True awareness starts with understanding the challenges millions of people face and recognizing the importance of support, both at work and in our communities.
Here are a few important facts shared by NAMI:
1 in 5 U.S. adults experiences mental illness every year.
Workplace Stress is Real: A NAMI poll revealed that 1 in 4 employees has considered quitting their job due to the toll it took on their mental health.
The Gap in Support: Fewer than half of managers report having adequate training to confidently navigate mental health conversations in the workplace.
At BridgeWork Partners, we believe that building healthier workplaces starts with creating environments where open conversations are encouraged, support is accessible, and people feel comfortable asking for help.
This World Mental Health Day, remember that you are never alone. Take time to check in with yourself and others, educate yourself, and connect with trusted resources.
Learn & Connect: Find educational resources and support groups through the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
Speak to a Peer: Contact the NAMI HelpLine at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or text "NAMI" to 62640. The HelpLine is available Monday through Friday, 10 AM–10 PM ET.
Immediate Crisis Care: If you or a loved one needs urgent support, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.
Let's continue working together to break the stigma, support one another, and build healthier workplaces and stronger communities. Because a healthier mind builds brighter tomorrows. 🤝💚
