Bullying behavior has a negative impact on workplace culture that in turn affects productivity. We can strengthen workplace culture by increasing #voice, #agency, and a sense of belonging for all. Via Greater Good Science Center: greatergood.berkeley.edu/art…. #bullyingpreventionmonth

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay Nearly 1 in 7 people live with a #MentalHealth condition. People with lived experience can help transform mental health care at every stage: from designing services to delivering and improving them. By collaborating and working together, experts with lived experience, and people working in mental health systems, policy, and research can design care that is person-centred, rights-based and rooted in dignity. Make community-based services stronger, support continuity of care and make every conversation count bit.ly/4yJjvBc
