Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! 🧠 ❤️ Executive Director Aaron Harvey spoke to Kellanova's VP of Global Total Rewards about Made Academy 2.0, our workplace mental health video training program (which is being offered to all Kellanova employees in North America!) Our second season focuses on The Mental Health Matrix,  a new model for identifying sources of strain and empowering managers to address them. “We don't get mental health information in school, so the workplace becomes the conduit to reach a captive audience. These partnerships provide the opportunity to move mental health awareness to employees so they can gain essential information and insights to navigate their own mental health needs and to help family, friends and others who may be struggling.” Click the link below to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gaxz6q3Q #workplacementalhealth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters

More details below 💫 WHERE: Laemmle Monica Film Center 1332 2nd St, Santa Monica, CA ABOUT THE FILM: Cooper Ganz’s seemingly perfect life quickly unravels when he is diagnosed with a crippling form of OCD called Pure Obsessional. This often-misunderstood illness forces him to question his identity and sanity, all while trying to keep it together for his fiancé, family, and co-workers. Throughout his personal journey, he must help himself and others tackle a litany of universal issues — grief, coming of age, addiction, redemption and the power of social connection. Inspired by the filmmaker’s own true story. #mentalhealth #ocd #pureo #pureocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder  #moviescreening

❗ Survey Volunteers Needed ❗ Is it hard to find a qualified clinician under your insurance? Did you spend years with an undiagnosed mental health condition? Do you have any frustrations with lack of psychoeducation in the US or Canada? Let your voice be heard! The Made of Millions team, in partnership with Culture Co-Op, is conducting a research study on the patient mental health journey among Gen Zers and parents of Gen Zers. Questions will focus on cultural perceptions of mental health, and the experiences/barriers people have faced when trying to receive diagnosis and treatment. Criteria:  - Must be between 13-26 years old OR be the parent of someone between 13-26 years old  - Must be affected by a mental health condition, either currently or in the past.   The survey should take roughly 20 minutes to complete. We believe current statistics about diagnosis and treatment are outdated. With your participation, we can uncover a more updated understanding of the mental health journey people are facing today. For many, simply “going to therapy” isn’t that simple or straightforward. We want to know what is deterring, or helping, people from getting the help they need. Visit the link below to complete the survey today. Thank you! US: https://lnkd.in/gx7YfsWK CANADA: https://lnkd.in/gYTXb498
