October 10th marks World Mental Health Day, a reminder of the importance of mental health, and this year, its focus is on mental health within the workplace.
At Dan’s Legacy, we not only help our youth clients develop positive habits to maintain their mental health, but we strongly encourage our staff to do so as well.
We recently wrote about this in our blog on self care, which you can read here.
As highlighted in that blog, it’s essential for those in the non-profit sector to prioritize their mental health to be better equipped to support others.
We were invited to share our insights on this topic with Global Philanthropic Canada, who collaborated with us this year on the production of key fundraising collateral. Executive Director, Barb Coates and Marketing Manager, Lee Crawford met with their team to discuss mental health in the workplace, the stigmas associated with it, and the importance of communication.
