Smiling Mind

📈✨ New research shows 52% of Australian small and medium-sized business owners and senior managers reported their mental health had been impacted in the last 12 months by the economic climate, but only 12% of those affected have sought support. Smiling Mind and Commonwealth Bank have teamed up to bring you a new collection in the Smiling Mind App, designed to help business owners, leaders, and employees build mental fitness to thrive at work. Accessible 24/7, this curated collection of sessions was developed by psychologists and health promotion experts to help you manage stress and support the ups and downs of business life.

Smiling Mind’s new brand and mission are just the beginning. “Building the right skills and developing healthy habits are crucial for driving the generational change we need in mental health, but equally important is how we communicate and engage with people. The language, tone, and visual approach all shape the conversation to influence real, lasting change.” - Sarah La Roche Mental fitness should be as natural as physical fitness, and our updated brand, app and school resources will support families, educators and communities to make this a reality. Let’s work together to set the next generation up to thrive. https://lnkd.in/gWikqTkW #MentalFitness #ChildMentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #EndTheStigma

The latest Australian Human Rights Commission report takes a crucial step in championing child wellbeing. Smiling Mind particularly commends the call for prevention and early intervention, and supports the call for Governments to listen to the evidence and work together across health, education, social services and justice to improve child wellbeing and safety – and keep communities safe for everyone. The Commission spoke with 150 young people and children, their families and a range of stakeholders who said that prioritising child wellbeing and safety would help keep children away from the criminal justice system.
