Uplifting Accounts to Follow on World Mental Health Day

October 7, 2021

 

This Sunday, 10th October marks World Mental Health Day – an international day for mental health education, awareness, and advocacy against social stigma.

Providing a positive headspace for team members should be a top priority for employers; and here at IF, we do our best to foster a supportive environment that promotes wellbeing and prevents burnout.

One thing that we promote, and bring in where possible, is positive messaging and humour to bring levity into our day-to-day. Here are some of the accounts we follow, quote, share and scroll through to do just that:

1.@tanksgoodnews is a great spot to get good, uplifting news. Sometimes it’s nice to read about something positive for a change!

2. @animalsdoingthings because who doesn’t love watching animals doing things.

3. @davidattenborough is a no brainer, really. Who doesn’t love David Attenborough?

4. @thearchbishopofbanterbury is a great account to follow if you want a good LOL break in your day.

Now, more than ever, we all need to do what we can to support people around us. Please give the Mental Health Foundation a follow to see what you can be doing for yourself and others to promote mental wellbeing.

They watch in feeds, sanity-check you in comments, communities and reviews, then repeat whatever proof is easiest to quote internally. That’s why social feels harder, it’s no longer a click machine, it’s an answer surface. Ofcom shows AI summaries are now common in search results, and YouTube remains the UK’s biggest social utility by reach and time spent. If your story is inconsistent, your evidence is scattered, or your customer proof is buried, lurkers can’t do the job of trusting you for you.
