Check in on World Mental Health Day

A message from Healthcare Homes CEO Gordon Cochrane on World Mental Health Day

Dear All – As I am sure you are all aware today is World Mental Health Day. In our day-to-day roles here at Healthcare Homes so many of us are responsible for the health and wellbeing of others.  To perform these duties to the best of our capabilities it’s crucial that we look after ourselves and each other. Especially during these challenging times.

The theme for this year’s World Mental Health Day is ‘Make mental health and wellbeing for all a global priority’. And in the spirit of this I would encourage each of you to turn to a colleague today and check-in with them….. you never know who’s struggling and the difference that you could make.

Thank you all for this. Together we always make a difference.
