Happy World Mental Health Day! This year's theme is "It is Time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace". "Employed adults spend more time working than any other activity during their waking hours. In a myriad ways, and at its best, work can provide a livelihood and be a source of meaning, purpose, and joy. However, for too many people, work falls far short of its potential, failing to enhance our lives and detracting from our mental health. We must highlight various aspects of mental health at work, from workplace conditions and stress management to the importance of social inclusion and empowerment. The goal is clear: to champion mental health in the workplace and build best practices that create cultures where workers have the potential to contribute productively and thrive." - https://buff.ly/47mS2IG People USA’s Wellness Committee is an extension of the organization’s investment in and commitment to overall staff wellness. The committee operates on the shared values of respect, fairness, confidentiality, community, leadership, and growth. The committee recently launched their "8 Dimensions of Wellness Program," focusing each month on a different element of holistic wellness while promoting team bonding. We are proud to be practicing what we preach with our internal staff in order to "help the helpers" at our organization! #WorldMentalHealthDay #PrioritizeMentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthintheworkplace #8DimensionsofWellness #HumanRights #PeopleUSA #PeopleUSANow #Mentalhealth #Advocacy #Peers #WellnessServices #Community #Support #Recovery #Sobriety #Prevention #Hope #RoadToMentalWellness #NewYork

About us
People USA is a peer-run mental health nonprofit that creates, provides, and promotes its own innovative crisis response and wellness services. Being “peer-run” means that all our services are developed and operated by people who have personally overcome mental health issues, addiction, or trauma. This makes us a valuable addition and alternative to the traditional behavioral health care system. People USA’s unique, peer-led models are proven to significantly reduce hospital utilization, incarceration rates, and overall healthcare spending. Most importantly, they are built on an unbreakable foundation of customer engagement, comfortable environments, empathy, and positive expectations for people’s futures. We make Recovery the Expectation. We change the conversation from illness to Wellness. Because of our successes, our unique models and approaches have been studied and replicated across the United States & Europe. Our mission is to educate, support, and empower people and communities to understand, manage, and overcome mental health, addiction, and social determinant of health challenges.

We are excited to announce that NFP is the first ever DIAMOND sponsor of our Annual Breakfast! We are incredibly grateful to them for their generosity. 💙 NFP, an Aon company, is an organization of consultative advisors and problem solvers helping companies and individuals address their most significant risk, workforce, wealth management and retirement challenges. We are especially grateful to our Board member, Robert Ranieri, local NFP Vice President and pillar in the nonprofit community, for facilitating this sponsorship. "People USA's mission is one that unfortunately everyone can relate to in some way," says Rob. "We need more people to get involved so they can help more individuals in need." Breakfast sponsors like NFP help us spread the word about our programs, break the stigma around mental health, and raise much needed funds for the mission of People USA through this important event.
