#timetotalk2018

A couple weeks ago I made a post about writing a report for my HO on ways to improve Mental Health Awareness and support within our business unit. Well.......she got back to me and asked for further thoughts on possible resources we can use, I gave her in-depth feedback on those last week. I got into work this morning to see she had emailed me to say she was impressed with my reviews of the sources and also valued my advice. Plus she's sent on my reports to the area manager, who's top boss of the 3 buildings the government operate in within the area.

I know this won't mean much to a lot of people but knowing that my experiences with mental health allowed me to have insight on how the work environment can be improved. If my suggestions even help one person feel more comfortable expressing their illness with someone, I'll be happy.

There's my positive thing for the day 💛
