Saint Louis University, led by the Human Resource Department (HRD), celebrated National Mental Health Month on 10 October 2024 with the theme, “It’s Time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace.”
Through HRD’s advocacy, “Your Mental Health Matters. You are human first before you are a resource,” NAVI went around the SLU Main campus meeting Louisians in their blue T-shirts symbolizing solidarity for mental health. NAVI’s involvement in the advocacy not only brought fun and happiness, but also became a meaningful element to the campaign.
This celebration served as a reminder to prioritize mental health in today’s modern environment where stress and pressure are common. Indeed, an awareness of mental health is essential to everyone’s overall well-being.
National Mental Health Month not only reflected the CICM Advocacy of Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) but also aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3) and Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8).
