Our Club Rotary Foundation Chair Samantha Pei, participated in the Mental Health Care forum hosted by Rotary International District 3450 on 4 Nov 2024. The focus was on creating a happy workplace through mental health awareness.
After the forum, Samantha shared valuable insights and practical information with our members.
Some key insights from the forum:
- Workplace wellness is strongly connected to employee engagement, productivity, and overall business success
- Many organizations and resources are available to public, supporting SMEs, corporations, and professionals in preventing mental health risks and promoting well-being at work
- Importance of compassionate communication, including non-judgmental listening, kind words, and being present for those facing mental health challenges
- Necessity of reducing stigma through public education and awareness to encourage individuals to seek professional help without fear of judgment
As Rotarians, we come from diverse professional backgrounds, making this topic particularly relevant.
Together, we can positively impact workplace wellness, raise mental health awareness in our communities, and contribute to a healthier society.
