Give an Hour® Releases International Resources for a Week to Change Direction Press Release

Posted 19 May-2020 04:56 PM by Smith | 802

Give an Hour®, a national nonprofit, launches the 2nd Annual Week to Change Direction on May 18-24. This virtual event will shine a light on how people around the world are taking care of their mental health. Even though many are still experiencing social distancing due to the coronavirus pandemic, Give an Hour's hope is that, through this virtual conversation, people will encourage each other to stay connected and stay mentally healthy. The goal this year is to build on the success of a Week to Change Direction 2019, which had projects from 42 countries and 43 states.

Give an Hour's Campaign to Change Direction has created a common language that allows everyone to recognize five key signs of emotional suffering and encourages them to care for their mental well-being and the mental well-being of others. 

Launching during a Week to Change Direction, Give an Hour is proud to announce that the Five Signs of Emotional Suffering resource is available today in English, Arabic, Czech, Georgian, Hebrew, Nepali, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Turkish and Ukrainian.

During a Week to Change Direction, Give an Hour invites everyone around the world to share how they are taking care of their mental health. Please register now to become part of a Week to Change Direction, and during the week, share ways to stay emotionally healthy. Post on social media using #ChangeDirection.

œAt Give an Hour, we have a lofty goal, said Randy Phelps, Ph.D., CEO of Give an Hour. œWe want to change the culture of mental health by educating everyone to pay attention to their mental health as much as they do their physical health.
