On this #WorldMentalHealthDay 2024, we invite you to reflect on how we can promote mental wellbeing and prevent multi-morbidity in older adults, ensuring they not only add healthy years to life but also find purpose, joy, and fulfilment in those years. ?

For World Mental Health Day 2024, the message focuses on the importance of fostering resilience and well-being for all, especially in an increasingly fast-paced and interconnected world. This year’s theme emphasizes the significance of creating environments where people can talk openly about their mental health and seek help without stigma. Let us commit to prioritizing mental health as a universal human right by: - Advocating for equal access to mental health care and resources for everyone, everywhere. - Supporting each other through open conversations and breaking down barriers of shame. - Promoting workplace and community initiatives that encourage mental well-being. By taking steps to understand and address mental health challenges, we can build a more supportive, inclusive society where everyone has the chance to thrive emotionally and psychologically.

As a society, we’re beginning to understand and accept the relationship between mental and physical health and promoting a culture of “whole health,” including body and mind. In doing so, we’re changing the way we view mental health and promoting equality between mental and physical health. Now, we’re talking about “health concerns” rather than “mental health concerns” to normalize conversations and remove barriers. A toolkit for addressing and supporting mental health, issued yearly by Mental Health America, provides a wealth of educational information, fact sheets, definitions, and guides for use in understanding and addressing mental health. It’s important to know that help is available immediately by calling or texting 988. To view the toolkit visit chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://ow.ly/LT3N50RHsh0

We also discuss the importance of seeking therapy when things become overwhelming and the value of having close friends and a supportive community.

Today for Mental Health Awareness Week, let’s bring urgent attention to men’s mental health, a vital issue often hidden behind a veil of stigma and silence. Shockingly, in the UK, men are three times more likely than women to die by suicide, with many cases linked to the lack of open discussions around mental health. Furthermore, only 36% of referrals to NHS talking therapies are for men, indicating a significant gap in seeking and receiving help. These statistics underscore a crisis that demands our immediate attention and action. It’s time to break the silence and initiate powerful, open discussions about mental health. Creating spaces where men feel safe to express their struggles is crucial in breaking the barriers to mental health care. By encouraging discussions among friends, brothers, fathers, and sons, and ensuring they are heard, we can shift attitudes and underline that mental health is a critical issue for everyone.

Today, on #PositiveThinkingDay, we want to highlight how a shift in our thinking can help eradicate the barriers that stigma creates. Positive thinking is more than just looking on the bright side; it’s about building a community where compassion, openness, and understanding are the norm. By challenging harmful stereotypes, fostering supportive conversations, and promoting mental wellness as a priority, we can break down the stigma surrounding mental health. Every day, we work to create a world where no one feels ashamed to ask for help, but the fight against stigma requires all of us. Together, we can make a difference by starting with empathy and continuing with action. Let’s stand united in ending the stigma and supporting mental wellness for all.
