R&H wrapped up Mental Health Awareness Month after four weeks of wellness-focused activities. Some of the team and individual-focused activities that were completed throughout the month are highlighted below!
MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE KITS
In addition to a Toolbox Talk on mental health, jobsites received Mental Health Resource Kits, which included wallet-sized resource cards, gratitude boards and activity books. The resource cards have a list of mental health resources available through R&H’s benefits and local and national resources. Additionally, they include a list of signs of a mental health struggle to look out for in themselves and others.
ACTIVITY BOOKS
The colorful Mental Health Awareness Month Activity Books encouraged team members to complete a range of wellness activities in different categories from Acts of Kindness to Self-Care and Physical Movement for a chance to win a prize.
STRETCH & FLEX
In support of our field teams’ daily Stretch & Flex routines, our offices also joined in by doing daily stretches throughout the month. The team also engaged in guided mindfulness meditations to settle the mind before continuing the workday.
A HOLISTIC VIEW OF WELLNESS
In order to be entered into a prize raffle, team members had to complete one activity in each category: physical, learning, community, self-care/mindfulness, act of kindness and connection. Activity books came with a guide of recommended activities to complete. The activities in each category were meant to show how wellness is wholistic and deeply rooted in a combination of body, mind and community activities. At least three of the activities required engaging with others to be completed (community activity, act of kindness and connection activity).
