A much needed conversation is happening at The Malta Chamber thanks to AIS Environment. How Malta's rapid growth is affecting the different aspects of our being. I will be mentioning mental and social wellbeing. What could be possible and plausible solutions?

Meta nitkellmu dwar "immaġni tal-ġisem" importanti nitkellmu dwar ir-relazzjoni li għandna ma' ġisimna. Hawn min imur il-gym/jagħmel sport biex isawwat lil ġismu għax ma jgħoġbux u hawn min jagħmel l-istess attivita' biex itejjeb r-relazzjoni ma' ġismu.
Hawn min jiekol healthy għax ma jgħoġbux ġismu u hawn min jiekol healthy għax irid jitratta lil ġismu tajjeb.
Il-ġisem tagħna u parti kbira mill-identita' tagħna u l-mod kif nipreżentaw lilna nfusna lid-dinja.

Today is International Men’s Day.
Strange how quietly it passes every year.

No campaigns. No balloons. There are no corporate slogans to be found. No flood of posts about mental health, even though men are still the ones dying younger, speaking less, and carrying more in silence. No photos of men at the office. No posts celebrating the men in our lives...
It is almost as if men are expected to cope without ever needing the same attention or care that everyone publicly celebrates on other days.

So here is a gentle reminder.
Men’s Day exists. Not to praise men. It is not intended to elevate any individual.
However, we must acknowledge that men also face challenges.
Men break too.
Men need support, compassion, and spaces where they can speak without being mocked or minimised.

If you know a man, ask him how he is.
If you are a man, check in with yourself.
As it hasn't been widely mentioned, let's take a moment to acknowledge it clearly.

I was once told that the first time men get flowers is at their funeral...
how sad...

Last week OHSA MALTA started the conversation about "The True Cost of Showing Up: A Psychosocial View on Presenteeism". The conference began with a presentation on local research regarding the cost of presenteeism. This was followed by a panel discussion of dedicated professionals. I was invited as a mental health professional and to represent The Malta Chamber.We explored how showing up while mentally unwell or disengaged impacts both individuals and workplaces. We are grateful for the opportunity to share our insights on creating cultures that prioritise wellbeing, psychological safety, and sustainable performance. We discussed how it is important to move beyond the usual clichés of mental health and work altogether to have a mentally fit society and workforce.

Today I was delivering a workshop for managers who are also parents. We joked about expectations, got angry about how the same expectations can feel too much at times. We then remembered that this will happen when juggling two things that are so important. Being a parent and a manager means that you are in a caring role at home and at work. How do you take care of yourself? How do you fill your kettle to be able to pour from it again the following day?
