October 10th was national Mental Health Day!
How do you practice taking care of your mental health and wellness? How can we do a better job of prioritizing mental wellness in our work-place environment? Do you think leadership should initiate regular conversations about mental health?
This doesn't quite answer the question but I want to shed some light on Trichotillomania and how it affects 10 million people in the United States and these are a gross understatement since there are many more undocumented cases worldwide and in the US. Trich also know as "hair pulling disorder" can be linked to family history, age, environment, stress, and other disorders associated with OCD. This disorder is a silent killer that victims are suffering from alone and they are constantly trying to hide it. Shining a light on this grave issue is important and makes people feel as though they are not alone. #talkaboutit #trichotillomania
