On the second Tuesday of March each year, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) pioneers ‘My Whole Self Day’. Falling on March 12^th this year, the day is designed to celebrate bringing your whole self to work.

‍

What does this mean?

It means creating a culture where everyone feels valued and empowered to bring their true selves to work, with complete freedom to choose which parts of their identity they share in the workplace, without judgment. This includes background, sexuality, religion, gender, health, and mental health.

‍

MHFA have created a few handy resources, which you can find below, to help us all create a more inclusive and psychologically safe environment for others, plus some healthy working habits that we can implement into our own work practices.
