This week, the world celebrated World Mental Health Day. This saw celebrities and business figures from across the globe spoke openly about the importance of acknowledging mental illness and wellbeing.
Actor and make-up brand owner Selena Gomez made sure all the sales from her cosmetics company Rare Beauty were directed to her mental health charity – Rare Impact Fund - this year. Whereas rapper Megan Thee Stallion took to social media to encourage fans to check on their loved ones in a public service announcement in partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Jed Foundation.
It’s reassuring to see the amount of discourse that's arisen out of World Mental Health Day, with breaking down stigma around the subject being an important factor in empowering more people to speak up if they’re struggling.
Fortune’s annual Most Powerful Women Summit happened to fall across Mental Health Day, meaning it was a key theme at the event. One panel discussion saw executives from four major companies, Walmart, Accenture, Levi Strauss and Etsy, discuss the link between mental health and employee engagement.
