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.

Threads has passed 400 million monthly active users, and Meta has put daily actives at around 150 million. The strategic implication for B2C and B2B is the same; distribution gets easier to buy, credibility gets harder to earn. Threads rewards coherence in public conversation, how you answer, how you sound, how specific you are. Treat it as a trust surface, because that’s where decisions get shaped now.

Feeds are getting tired of “perfect”. A lot of the most interesting work going into 2026 is reacting against hyper-digital polish with visuals that feel more handled: scanned textures, mismatched elements, collecting layouts, and deliberate “imperfections” that make the human hand visible again. That matters for social, because audiences clock…
