I'm not a huge racing fan. I tried to get into it, couldn't do it. That said, there is a lot we can learn from how races work. If you're going to win a race, you have to make pit stops along the way. That may be the most obvious statement I've ever made. You have to refuel, change tires, or make repairs. After the split second stop (seriously, it looks split second...those guys are fast), and the car is back in good shape, the driver speeds off to continue the race. Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Awareness focus months are pit stops in the race to normalize help-seeking behavior in the workplace. They exist to highlight causes, share best practices, and equip workplaces to continue building a culture of care all year long. So now it's October. What will you do to stay in the race to keep building a caring culture the rest of the year? How ever way you answer that question, let's lean on and learn from each other as we go!

Practicing DEI Through a Trauma-Responsive Approach Incorporating a trauma-responsive approach into our DEI efforts is crucial for creating a safe and supportive environment. By understanding the impact of trauma, providing resources and support, and fostering a culture of empathy and understanding, we can ensure that our DEI practices are inclusive and considerate of individuals' unique needs. Join me in understanding the impact of trauma and learning how to implement trauma-informed practices. Let's discuss strategies to support individuals' healing, promote psychological safety, and ensure equitable opportunities for all. Together, we can make DEI a transformative force in the workplace. #DEI #TraumaResponsive #InclusiveEnvironment

It’s #MentalHealthWeek in Canada, a reminder of the importance of prioritizing mental wellbeing for ourselves and those around us.   The facts are powerful. According to CAMH:   💭 In any given year, 1 in 5 Canadians will experience mental illness; 💭 By the time we reach 40, 1 in 2 of us will have / have had a mental illness; 💭 Young people (those aged 15-24) are the most likely to experience mental illness.   These stats mean that mental illness will impact all of us either directly or through family, friends and colleagues.   Encouragingly, while 75% of respondents in a recent survey said they would be reluctant to disclose a mental illness at work, the same survey revealed that 76% of respondents would be completely comfortable and supportive if a colleague disclosed a mental illness. I believe this is meaningful progress in recognizing and accepting the prevalence of mental illness in recent years.   This year’s theme for Mental Health Week—compassion—reminds us of the power of empathy and understanding in supporting one another. I hope that anyone at IMCO managing mental health challenges, whether personally or through a loved one, feels supported by us. And I hope that everyone takes steps to prioritize their own mental health. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthweek #compassionconnects #culture #workplace #leadership #institutionalinvesting #institutionalinvestor
