It’s no secret that mental health has become an increasingly important topic, and even more so when a global pandemic threw the world into chaos. Poor mental health rates are on the rise, with more people struggling to cope with the challenges of modern life.
What’s more, the health system is failing to keep pace, supporting not only people with mental illness, but also those with minor or short-term distress. Workplaces are no exception, and in some cases are actually part of the problem.
Our world needs a proactive and preventative approach to workplace mental health awareness that…
Encourages people to seek support earlier,
Educates how to offer support while protecting your own mental health, and
Fuels a desire to build your resilience skills before challenges appear.
This is where leaders have the privilege and responsibility to inform, inspire and drive change within their team so they can then show up each day as the best version of themselves – wherever that may be.
The term ‘Mental Fitness’ overcomes the stigma that has made approaching mental health in the workplace so complex.
Our mission is to inspire people to develop a more proactive relationship with their mental health, shifting their approach toward growth, prevention and purpose.
Mental Fitness is the 'how-to' for building resilience and better mental health
“Mental Fitness is the modifiable capacity to utilize resources and skills to flexibly adapt to challenges or advantages to enable optimal functioning.”
(Robinson, Oades, & Caputi, 2015)
We’ve researched four common approaches to physical health and applied them to mental health to inspire people to develop regular habits of Mental Fitness.
That’s why we’re proud to offer the world’s most practical, interactive and scientifically-validated Mental Fitness training experience.
We’re proud to be Mental Fitness Champions, and you and your team can be too.
Together, let’s reimagine how leaders approach mental health awareness and training in the workplace.
Mental Fitness is a positive, popular and inclusive term without the negative connotations of illness currently implied by the terms ‘mental health’ or ‘mental illness’.
Mental Fitness can be understood by individuals and organisations in a growth-oriented and engaging manner, much like physical fitness.
Mental Fitness is a measurable, learnable, skill-based and life-long preventative approach to mental health and wellbeing.
Mental Fitness can be improved in a similar way to physical fitness to produce positive habits of mind, optimal functioning and high-performance.
