Changing the Stigma Narrative

Changing the Stigma Narrative

Breaking the taboo around stress and mental health challenges is crucial in ensuring that people receive the help they need. Stigma is a significant hurdle preventing individuals from achieving optimal mental wellbeing, as it may lead to concealing symptoms, delaying healthcare, and neglecting healthy behaviour.

Fear of Repercussions

The reluctance to speak up is often caused by fear of appearing weak, incapability to handle the situation, concern over job security, and lack of someone to confide in. To address these concerns, it is essential to establish a healthy workplace culture that encourages open communication, empathetic listening, and a sense of safety in expressing one's thoughts.

Empower. Educate. Encourage

• Encourage senior leaders to speak openly about their own mental health experiences,
• Create regular opportunities for employees to discuss their stress and mental health
• Provide training for managers to develop emotional intelligence skills are some effective measures to foster an environment of openness and acceptance.

Moreover, it is crucial to ensure that employees feel safe and supported when they speak up about their mental health concerns.
