Happy Purple Tuesday!

We support Purple Tuesday, taking place today, to raise awareness about the importance of making a more accessible and inclusive experience for disabled people – every day of the year.

This great initiative inspires individuals and organisations to raise awareness, develop understanding, and implement solutions for better accessibility in their customer environments.

The Purple Tuesday movement is highlighted each year by a celebratory day, the first Tuesday of November, but its impact for reaching the common goal of improving the customer experience for disabled people is 365 days a year.

If you're in a position to make a change, get involved and let's make the world a better place to live in.💜

We proudly support this month!

🔊World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day is marked every year on October 10 to raise awareness about mental health around the world and to mobilize efforts to support those experiencing mental health issues.

Whilst the pandemic has and continues to, take its toll on our mental health, the ability to reconnect through World Mental Health Day 2022 will provide us with an opportunity to re-kindle our efforts to protect and improve mental health.

Inspired by the World Mental Health Day we announced Mental Health Awareness Month at Catalyst Care Group. We want to make sure we recognize a difficult truth: 1 in 6 people report experiencing a common mental health problem (like anxiety and depression) in any given week in England.

We envision a world in which mental health is valued, promoted and protected, where everyone has an equal opportunity to enjoy mental health and where everyone can access the mental health care they need.

Let’s all together be vocal about what we need to do to ensure Mental Health and Well-Being become a Global Priority for all.

🔦Mental Health Awareness Month at Catalyst Care Group

One thing we can all agree on is that we’ve been through a lot these past 2 years, and you have probably heard: we’re in the midst of a mental health crisis. Our mental health has been widely affected, specifically, with the effect of COVID-19 and all that comes with it – vaccinations, quarantining, working from home, disrupted schedules, lack of social interaction, and more.

Mental health isn’t just about having or not having a mental illness. Our well-being is affected by all aspects of our lives, and that, in turn, affects how we experience life, work, and time with our loved ones.

As recently as ten years ago, it was considered a social taboo to talk about mental health. The subject was mired in stigma, and admitting your struggles proved difficult for many. Now, the conversation is more critical than ever.

Therefore, and inspired by the upcoming World Mental Health Day we are announcing Mental Health Awareness Month at Catalyst Care Group. We want to make sure we recognize a difficult truth: 1 in 6 people report experiencing a common mental health problem (like anxiety and depression) in any given week in England.

Mental health awareness might be one of the most pressing issues we’re currently facing in the healthcare industry as a whole, which is why in October we will use our time to bring our voices together to advocate for mental health and access to care through sharing personal stories, highlighting why discussing mental health remains as important as ever and how to create change in a more practical and fundamental way.

Stay tuned and let’s all together spread awareness about mental health!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Cancelling tomorrow’s event in order to pay our respects to the Royal Family.

It is with sadness, and as a mark of respect for the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll, that we inform you our Catalyst Summer Party this year, due to go ahead tomorrow, has been cancelled.

We know our event is something we have awaited with great anticipation. Still, we would urge our family members to take time to grieve and also remember the immense impact our Queen, who embodied such grace and dignity, had throughout her lifetime in the pursuit of serving others.

Our thoughts are with her family and all those affected by this news.

Queen Elizabeth ll will be forever missed.
