The Imperfectly Perfect Campaign's Virtual Hangs with our Global Community

Such an incredible way to start a Monday morning.

The Imperfectly Perfect Campaign virtual hangs kicked off because we have witnessed too many people struggling atm with their mental health.

When we are seeing so many people dividing because of their beliefs or choices, we are seeing friends not speaking, strangers abusing one another.

People are missing that we are also going through a Mental Health Epidemic and people are crying out struggling.

Lifeline experienced its most calls in its history last week.

The IPC receives daily messages so we need to try to do better.

The more focused people are on everything else and not supporting each other, sadly the more people continue to suffer in silence and we are missing the signs to look for and then shocked when we lose people.

Today we kicked off the Virtual Hangs with the incredible Rachael Newsham leading us through an amazing session.

It was a room full of joy, of laughter, of realness and to top it off, an incredible lady named Phyllisha whom shared a little of her story with us and spoke of her struggles with a stammer and with her nerves.

Today she bravely set aside both, sang for us and blessed us with that gift.

If you missed the hang, but are interested in being a part on our next sessions, be sure to register for our upcoming sessions by clicking the link in our bio.

SUPPORTING YOUR EMPLOYEES MENTAL HEALTH DURING COVID-19

PROVIDE SUPPORT

  • Encourage open discussions to help workers to share or learn from others.

  • Ensure workers know where support resources are available. Consider creating a central point of contact for workers to go about any concerns.

  • Promote an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) if available and encourage workers to use it.
