Mental health affects all of us ~ our families, our workplaces, our communities.

We’re resharing this message from Black Women’s Health Imperative as a reminder that it’s okay to pause and reach out.

If you’re feeling heavy, overwhelmed, or just need someone to talk to, Community First PNG Counselling Services is here to support you.

You don’t have to walk this journey alone. 💛 Reach out 📞 71471518 or 76585653.

Always being the fixer.
The caretaker.
The backbone.

Carrying it all for everyone can lead to:
👉🏾 Burnout
👉🏾 Chronic illness
👉🏾 Emotional numbness
👉🏾 Anxiety and depression

Let’s be clear: strength without support is not wellness.

On Mental Health Awareness Day, this is your reminder that you don’t have to hold everything together alone. Rest is not weakness. Asking for help is not failure. And caring for your mental health is just as important as caring for everyone else.

We’re holding special space for those who don’t have a village to lean on for those navigating it alone, quietly, and doing the best they can.

You deserve support.
You deserve care and space to breathe.
And you are not invisible here. 💜

On October 10th, we observed World Mental Health Day, focusing on this year’s theme: ‘Mental Health in the Workplace’. 💼💚

Work environments play a vital role in our mental well-being, and we must foster spaces where everyone feels supported and valued. Whether creating flexible work arrangements, encouraging open conversations, or simply checking in with colleagues, prioritising mental health benefits us all.

As we move forward, let’s continue prioritising mental health, not just for ourselves but for those around us. Together, we can create healthier, happier workplaces.

🌍💚 Today, on World Mental Health Day, we stand with millions around the world to raise awareness and break the stigma surrounding mental health. This day encourages open conversations about mental well-being and the importance of access to care for all. Take a step towards mental wellness, remember, you are not alone. Seek support through therapy, hotlines, and support groups. Your mental health matters. 💬💙
