As we mark World Mental Health Day 2025, we invite you to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself, your colleagues, and your community.
This year’s theme, “Mental Health in the Workplace,” comes to life through a global collaboration between CanBeWell.org and IASK.org, featuring 12 presenters across three time zones who bring practical, accessible tools to strengthen self-care and connection.
🌍 A Global Movement for Everyday Wellness
Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, which reached participants around the world, the 2025 program takes wellness into the heart of where we spend much of our time—the workplace.
The newly released World Mental Health Day 2025 Journal, published by Waines Publishing – a division of the Greenwell Center, captures the essence of this initiative. Inside, readers will find affirmations, reflections, and easy-to-use practices drawn from the presentations to help transform daily routines into moments of mindfulness and balance.
From the boardroom to the home office, from leadership teams to front-line staff, the message is simple:
We no longer need to suffer in silence. Together, we engage in self-care throughout the day.
💡 Taking Action: Your Mental Health Plan
Creating change begins with small, consistent actions. Here’s an action plan to begin integrating mental health awareness into your daily rhythm:
- Begin your day with intention. Take a deep breath before checking emails. Feel your feet on the floor, and remind yourself that your presence matters. Check out these resources.
- Build in mindful pauses. Between tasks or meetings, stretch, sip water, or breathe deeply. Even 30 seconds of awareness can reset your energy. Other tips in the book. Enjoy a few Tai Chi or Yoga moves also.
- Connect with others. A kind word, shared tea break, or moment of gratitude can shift the energy of an entire team. Be sure to check out our TEAS with Intentions.
- End your day with reflection. Ask: What restored me today? What might I do differently tomorrow?

🌸 Together, We Thrive
Changing the culture of mental health begins when each of us chooses to engage—not just for ourselves, but for the collective good. By integrating wellness practices into our daily routines, we become catalysts for a new way of working and living—one rooted in awareness, compassion, and shared growth.
Let’s make this World Mental Health Day the beginning of a new rhythm of care, one mindful breath and one connected moment at a time.
