PRCA MENA Mental Health Week 2021

PRCA MENA has worked on Mental Health Awareness week for the industry because we PROVIDE. COME TOGETHER. SUPPORT. CARE. UNDERSTAND.

PRCA MENA Launched the first ever Mental Health report 2020. 

Mental health is a truly global issue. And an issue which is
more important than ever because of COVID-19.

We know that the PR and communications profession has not been unique in tip-toeing around this subject in the past. Many other professions have done exactly the same. But thanks to PRCA members and those organisations supporting our work, that should no longer be the case for our industry. Working together, we are changing attitudes. We are changing cultures. We are ensuring that better support structures and mechanisms are being created. And doing all of this will make PR and communications a stronger, more attractive, and more productive industry to be part of.

View the report here.

PRCA MENA Mental Health Report out 10th October 2021! 

World Mental Health Day is observed on 10 October every year, with the overall objective of raising awareness of mental health issues around the world and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health. Following our most recent survey carried out by YouGov the PRCA MENA aims to help support the PR Industry within the region.

PRCA MENA’s second Mental Health report will be launched on Sunday, 10th October.

A conversation can change a life.

 Perhaps this is one of the pandemic’s unexpected, enduring legacies: We’re now more aware and empathetic of each other’s own mental health challenges.

 From industry leaders to the most junior PR professionals, we’ve seen an industry rally together and find new meaningful connections with colleagues, rivals and peers, by having open and honest conversations. Simply, you don’t have to be a mental health expert to reach out to others and see how they’re getting on.

 As we move through the pandemic and cope with our high-stress jobs, there’s an urgency for everyone – both employers and staff – to put mental wellbeing at the top of the agenda.

The Lighthouse Arabia – YOUR MINDSET MATTERS – End Stigma on World Mental Health Day

Mental health problems are common, with 1 in 4 people struggling, yet more than half of those struggling will never reach out for support, or they will heavily delay treatment due to stigma. Stigma continues to be a pervasive barrier in the region – preventing healing and worsening health outcomes. Illnesses such as depression and anxiety disorders are ranked as the topmost stigmatized illnesses amongst all illnesses. Today, 1 in 2 people admit that they are frightened by people with mental illnesses, while 4 in 5 people believe it is harder to have a mental illness than any other illness. Stigma can be intentional, unintentional, subtle, or obvious, but it leads to harm – no matter the scale.

Learn the action steps you can take personally and professionally to end stigma towards mental health.
• Understand the different types of stigma and its effects
• Understand the gold standard of a compassionate mindset towards mental health
• Improve empathy and sensitivity when speaking about mental health and learn about supporting someone who may be struggling
• Improve self-care and learn how to better care for your own mental health.
