Periods are a significant part of people’s lives. However, openly talking about them is still considered a taboo subject by many, creating period shame. This can easily impact on people’s mental wellbeing, leading to loss of self-confidence, anxiety, mood swings and depression.
This year’s World Mental Health Day is focusing on conditions at work, the management of stress, inclusion, and opportunity. The overall aim is to raise awareness of the importance of mental health at work, promote best working policies and practices, and create workplace cultures in which all employees can feel valued and appreciated.
Performing a kind act not only helps to promote a sympathetic and generous outlook, it also leaves you feeling positive. And that is transformative for mental health, because it can give a purposeful perspective to your day.
