Adapted to English from an article originally published on the Belov Group website.
Yellow September is an international movement created to reinforce the importance of mental health care and suicide prevention. In the workplace, this care must be constant, and awareness is relevant for all areas. Therefore, Grupo Belov embraces the cause annually and proposes initiatives for approximation, awareness, guidance, and help.
Conversing is an essential initial step to deconstruct prejudices and mistaken information. By building a relationship of trust, people who are suffering can seek guidance and help. Sometimes, calls for help can be hidden in looks, expressions, or gestures, and the workplace can be a space for support, through professionals and resources. In this sense, promoting conversation groups, interactions, and readings is a way to strengthen the campaign.
Grupo Belov's activities for Yellow September, in Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, utilized lectures and the presence of health specialists to foster healthy debates and enriching presentations. The messages were necessarily chosen and prepared to address topics such as mental disorders, which are treatable conditions and can affect anyone, and the issue of medical help, which is decisive for patients to reduce the chances of risks to their own health and increase the protection of those around them.
