Today is World Mental Health Day 🌍
Mental health shouldn’t be a one day conversation it’s something we need to nurture and prioritize all year round
Today, on World Mental Health Day 2025, we’re reminded that mental health is just as vital as physical health, especially in the workplace. A healthy mind fuels creativity, productivity, and strong relationships. When leaders and teams feel supported, businesses thrive.
Prioritizing mental well-being isn’t just the right thing to do it’s a smart business decision that drives sustainable success.
So with that in mind here are some mental health tips for business owners and also registered managers to look through, remember one size does not fit all, mental health is unique to the individual & their specific need.
💼 Tips for Business Owners
🌿 Take Care of Yourself
1.Set boundaries: Protect your time and energy.
2.Delegate and trust your team: Empower others, you don’t have to do everything alone.
3.Take mental health breaks: Short pauses can recharge your focus and prevent burnout
4.Practice positive self-talk. Focus on growth and learning, not perfection.
5.Seek support early. Therapy, coaching, or find a mentor can help you be the best version of yourself. Access mental health helplines when needed.
6.Start your day with intention. Take 5minutes before work to focus, plan and set the tone for your day
7.Don’t glorify overworking & Long hours might feel productive, but rest is what can aid long term performance.
8.Move your body daily short walks or small periods of exercise improve mood & especially helpful for people who may like to be glued to their screens.
9.Disconnect to recharge. Schedule no work evenings, weekends, or time through the week it can be done regardless of business size, nobody runs their business alone.
10.Celebrate your progress! Running a business is tough. Take time to recognise how far you’ve come, not just what’s left to do.
🌿Tips for registered managers
1. Prioritise your own wellbeing. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Make time each day for rest or activities that help you recharge, it doesn't have to be hours it can be a brief period you can take during the day.
2. Set clear boundaries. Define when your workday starts and ends and protect that time. Healthy boundaries prevent burnout and improve decision making.
3. Delegate with trust. Empower your team to take ownership. Delegation not only builds confidence in others but also reduces your stress load.
4. Schedule regular supervision for yourself. Just as your team needs support, you benefit from supervisions & being mentored.
5. Stay connected with peers & talk with other Registered Managers.
6.Recognise signs of stress early. Watch for changes in your mood, energy, or sleep. Early awareness will help you in putting in tools to ease your stress levels.
7. Model healthy behaviour for your team. When you show that taking breaks, asking for help, and maintaining balance are important, your staff feel empowered to do the same.
8. Celebrate progress, not just outcomes. Acknowledge the small wins yours and your team’s. Gratitude and recognition improve morale and resilience.
9.Access support or mental health helplines when needed.
