The provincial government has launched a campaign, You Matter, to raise the profile of thinking about mental health in the public service workplace.
The video released to launch the campaign features a variety of public servants, followed by Premier Dennis King, and I especially appreciated his words:
I think the first thing I would tell anyone is what I tell myself: it’s okay. You aren’t broken. There’s nothing wrong with you that can’t be helped, if you recognize what’s going on, and you talk to people, and you try your best to address it.
I particularly appreciate the Premier speaking in the first person, rooting his words in his own experience. Far too often we think of mental health is being something that only other people need to be concerned with.
