Being part of a safe, positive community is vital for our mental health and wellbeing. We thrive when we have strong connections with other people and supportive communities which remind us that we are not alone. Communities can provide a sense of belonging, safety, support in hard times, and give us a sense purpose.
This Mental Health Awareness Week, we invite everyone to celebrate the power and importance of community. The Mental Health community at the Diversity Project, has organised a webinar in which we will share ways in which we can build and protect our mental wellbeing by belonging to positive communities, which bring out the best in all of us.
Our speakers will discuss, amongst other topics:
- Importance of connection and dangers of loneliness
- Definitions and examples of positive communities
- What attributes thriving communities share in common
- How communities play different roles in different stages in your life
- How to be intentional in finding a community in which you ‘belong’
- How ERGs play a pivotal role in shaping corporate culture and fostering a sense of belonging and driving engagement
