On the esteemed occasion of World Mental Health Day, celebrated every year on October 10th, we find ourselves at a critical juncture in history. With the global pandemic and unprecedented challenges that followed, mental health has become an urgent concern for individuals, communities, and organisations worldwide. In light of this, IC24 is taking a proactive stance by inviting renowned mental health coach, Matt Wilson, to lead a transformative discourse on October 17th, 2023. This initiative aims to equip our colleagues with the necessary knowledge and tools to foster their mental well-being and support others, signalling the dawn of a new era of mental health.
The prevalence of mental health-related issues has skyrocketed over the past few years, affecting all walks of life. The COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated this crisis, causing immense emotional distress due to social isolation, financial uncertainties, and fear. According to reports, depression and anxiety rates have surged dramatically, impacting individuals of all ages and backgrounds. It has become imperative, now more than ever, to prioritise mental health concerns and dismantle the stigma surrounding them.
Acknowledging the significance of mental health, IC24 has charted a path towards a healthier and more supportive work environment. As an organisation, we fully understand the inseparable connection between employee well-being and enhanced productivity. Therefore, by inviting Matt Wilson, a distinguished mental health coach, we intend to facilitate a transformative dialogue that will ripple across our entire workforce.
