This May is Mental Health Awareness Month. To help spread awareness, the Atlanta Mission team hit Piedmont Park recently to educate the community on the connection between mental health and homelessness. Homelessness, like mental health, isn’t easily identifiable – as appearances can often deceive. This week, we are hosting our very own #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. Follow along as we explore the relationship between mental health and homelessness. Interested in joining us for this #InvisibleMission? Go to https://lnkd.in/eT8fME8M to learn more.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay As our chosen Charity for 2023 we have decided to donate £500.00 to BCHA for World Mental Health Day. Let's recognise why it's so important: 1. Awareness: It shines a spotlight on mental health, fostering understanding and empathy. 2. Reducing Stigma: By promoting open conversations, we help break down barriers. 3. Support: Together, we create a network of support for those in need. 4. Policy Advocacy: Advocating for change means better mental health care worldwide. Remember, mental health matters at work too! Employee well-being is vital for health, happiness, and productivity. When companies prioritise mental health, they build a positive, thriving workplace. Thankyou BCHA for supporting people across the Southwest! #MentalHealthMatters #WorkplaceWellness #WorldMentalHealthDay
Today for #WorldHomelessDay and #WorldMentalHealthDay we are proud to share some of the ways we are supporting people across the Southwest who are experiencing homelessness or struggling with their mental health. Mental health and homelessness are deeply connected. A safe and stable home is not just a place to live, it's a foundation for mental well-being. At BCHA, we aim to see people as their whole self and support them through difficult times in their lives with compassion, understanding and hope. Anyone can experience poor mental health and people from all walks of life are being forced into homelessness as we all battle through the cost-of-living crisis. Together, we can make strides toward a world where homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring, and where mental health is a priority for all. #EndHomelessness #MentalHealthMatters

🌱 💚 As we reflect on Mental Health Awareness Month, we understand there is a profound connection between mental health and homelessness. Mental health challenges are both a cause and consequence of homelessness, creating a cycle that can be hard to break without the right support. At HOME, we understand securing a roof is just the first step. Our clients at times also need comprehensive mental health support to rebuild their lives with dignity and resilience. This month, we pledge to advocate for policies that address these interconnected issues 🧠 🏠 Join us in spreading awareness, and checking in on your friends and family. Together, we can work towards solutions that not only find homes for those in need, but also provide them with the support essential for true healing and independence 💖 #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #EndHomelessness #SupportSystem

🌟 At Fred Victor, we recognize that mental health challenges can lead to or perpetuate homelessness. Individuals facing mental health issues are more vulnerable to poverty, isolation, and personal challenges, increasing their risk of homelessness. 💚 Mental Health Week is a crucial reminder of the importance of mental health for everyone's well-being. It highlights the challenges faced by those struggling with mental health issues and emphasizes the need for compassionate support. This year's theme, "Healing Through Compassion," aligns perfectly with our approach – compassion is at the heart of everything we do. 🤝 That's why our dedicated staff leads with compassion through our support and outreach services, empowering people facing severe mental health challenges to live dignified and fulfilling lives. Join us in spreading awareness and supporting those who need it most. #MentalHealthWeek #HealingThroughCompassion #CompassionConnects

This week is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. Mental health problems and homelessness can create a cycle that can feel impossible to break. Over 60% of our clients experience mental health problems, either due to homelessness or as a contributing factor that led to their homelessness. Our teams work closely with our clients, giving them the space and time to talk, helping to build trust and connections, and to find better ways to cope with what they are feeling. #Homelessness is an experience, not a forever. With the right support, it can be ended. #MHAW2024 #MHAW24 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #HomelessnessAwareness #HomelessnessAwareness2024 #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters
