Poor mental health and mental illness affect our personal lives, our work and our workplace. Work also affects our mental health. Our mental health is just as important as our physical health, and we should take care of both equally.
Its aim is to encourage people to change the way we think and talk about mental health, to learn to support ourselves and others when we face challenges, and to help build a safe and supportive work environment. Not Myself Today is based on the insight that we all experience mental health challenges. By becoming a part of Not Myself Today initiative, you can contribute to a work environment that supports mental wellbeing. This workplace mental health initiative has three main goals:
- Build greater awareness
- Reduce stigma
- Foster safe and supportive culture
NMT includes an online platform that provides guidance and support for UBC Ambassadors to roll-out digital toolkits and activities for both employees and people managers. The online platform also includes learning tools and resources you can use to plan and implement the initiative. NMT can be integrated into your faculty, department or unit’s already existing health initiatives or rolled out any time of the year.
Start driving positive change in your workplace with Not Myself Today. Register to become an Ambassador or visit the NMT page to learn about the initiative.
