May 17: International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia
MAY is OUR Mental Health Awareness MONTH!
Today marks the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT).
This global observance shines a light on the experiences of LGBTQ+ communities and raises awareness of the discrimination many people still face around the world.
While progress continues to be made, inclusion is not something that happens automatically. Creating environments where people feel respected, safe, and able to be themselves takes ongoing learning, allyship, and action.
Looking to get involved at work? Consider starting conversations around allyship, reviewing inclusive language, or sharing resources that help people better understand LGBTQ+ inclusion.

How we talk about mental health at work matters - and so does how we listen, show up, and create environments where ourselves and others feel seen, heard, and valued.
In this 60-minute session for Mental Health Awareness Week, Solène Anglaret invites you into a reflective and practical conversation about mental health and inclusion at work. Together, we’ll explore:
What mental health means and the many ways in which we look after ourselves and each other (or sometimes don't...)
What makes mental health inclusion a fundamental part of workplace culture, and how we can each contribute
How our identities - such as gender, race, class, and neurodivergence - shape our experiences of mental health and access to support
With a mindful welcome, space for reflection, and clear takeaways, this session will open up a meaningful conversation about mental health at work.
