Workplace Mental Health Awareness Week

Mental Health Awareness Week with Clara

This Mental Health Awareness Week, let's get the conversation moving!

Mental health affects us all in different ways, and it’s crucial to actively communicate its importance; whether at work, home or in our personal lives. Taking place from May 12th to 18th, this is the perfect time to reflect, support one another and take steps toward better well-being.

One of the biggest stressors for many of us is our relationship with office wellness, employee well-being and how our work environment impacts our mental health. The spaces where we spend hours, days and weeks on end play a significant role in shaping our overall well-being. A creative and supportive work environment can boost morale, enhance productivity and reduce stress. The office layout, tailored lighting, breakout spaces and access to wellness perks all contribute to how we feel throughout the workday.

Even the small simple changes like adding more greenery, offering quiet spaces to wind down and focus. Creating social connections can all make a powerful difference in our mental health and overall job satisfaction (not just that 2nd matcha from your favourite cafe 😉).

It’s easy to forget once we clock out of work that everyone has their own struggles and personal lives to return to. Team-building exercises and activities can strengthen our connections in the workplace, creating a sense of support that extends beyond office hours. Simple actions like morning coffee catch-ups, community outreach, or open discussions with team members can foster a healthier, more connected work environment.

Often, it comes down to having the right resources and knowing what’s available. When employees have access to wellness initiatives and supportive programs, they’re more likely to thrive both personally and professionally.
