World Mental Health Day

On 10 October, we mark the World Mental Health Day.

This day gives us an opportunity to raise public awareness of mental illnesses, to combat their stigmatization and to remind us how to ask for help and support when needed, as everyone has the right to live a mentally healthy life.

Break the taboo on mental illness and encourage non-judgmental listening.

ASTF trainings help to raise openness and understanding.

We also offer psychosocial counseling and health coaching support for employees and Managers who struggle with conflicts, chronical stress or impacts of professional events on their physiological and mental health.

Mental health is important in the workplace, and we need to talk about it early and openly. Just starting the conversation can make a difference. It can lead to the support that people need, simply be a relief to know that they’re not alone.
