Yesterday was the 3rd ensa National Instructors' Day, held in Bern, where the community of Mental Health First Aid: ensa Switzerland instructors came together to learn, share, and celebrate being part of ensa.

HealthFirst's Dr Mecky McNeil introduced the sessions and speakers and moderated the opening round table discussion.

The focus was on how the digital world we live in is impacting mental health, and how it can also be harnessed to support it. We heard from experts, shared our own experiences, and strengthened connections through a day of reflection and collaboration.

Dr Mecky shares: “It was a great privilege to facilitate the sessions and connect with instructors from all over Switzerland.”

🎭 It’s Carnival season in Switzerland!

Across towns and cities, people come together to celebrate tradition, music, and creativity. Moments like these remind us how powerful connection can be. Sharing laughter, dancing in the streets, and celebrating together all play an important role in supporting our mental health and overall wellbeing.

Feeling part of something bigger than ourselves boosts mood, reduces stress, and strengthens resilience, and that’s something worth celebrating! 🎉

How are you celebrating this Carnival season? Share with us in the comments!
