I think flexible arrangements is the keyword for structural changes. Flexibility in including mental wellness/treatment related expenses to be included in employee benefits. Flexibility in work timing and locations. Empathy will be mykeyword for team dynamics. Understanding the teammate, providing that little extra care in the choice of words at workplace and a listening ear will help.

@emiedecastro Love what you said about gratitude! Making the conscious choice to be grateful has really helped me get through some tough days. When it comes to worrying, I find that sometimes I tend to worry about things beyond my control (like this pandemic), and it makes me feel utterly helpless. But I've found that sometimes coming up with small actions I can take (like doing my part to be socially responsible) and trusting that everyone is doing the same (if not more) often helps me put my worries to rest, or at the very least calms it down. Sending lots of love to everyone trying to navigate this crazy times! <3

Movies and videos! This was one of the first videos that gave me more insight into depression: 'I had a black dog' https://youtu.be/XiCrniLQGYc . And movies are a good starting point to understanding the topic a little more, e.g. Silver Linings Playbook , A Star is Born, even Girl, Interrupted (yes this is a very old show).

@mysticempressa Thanks for the suggestion, Veena! Thanks too for the work that you do for CAL's C2C training programme and how CAL is supporting caregivers in Singapore.

@alfred76 I totally agree! It really doesn't take much to make someone's day.
