Imperfectly Perfect Campaign’s Global Efforts to Challenge the Narrative around Mental Health

They are some of the worlds most recognised faces across entertainment, sports and corporate getting behind the Global Efforts of the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign founded by 1 Photographer whose aim was to change the ‘face’ of Mental Health & Challenge the Narrative around out.

The overarching aim of Imperfectly Perfect is to change the face of mental health by dismantling the stigmas associated with it. These stigmas tear at the very fabric of society where the very elemental courtesies for human decency are forgotten and eroded.

One stigma utilizes a language that proposes that Mental Health starts and ends quickly. Snapping out of it is a phrase often heard as a satisfactory treatment in the torrential battle of mental health disorders that engulf lives.

The scars of mental health disorders are very real and behind a face that from the outside you think is doing okay, there is a conversation we do not want to hear or listen to.

“Have you ever hated yourself and your life so much that you wanted to kill yourself? I have. [Robb Mack]

Isolated, given labels that epitomize citizens of the world who may lack intelligence, creativity and any sense of positive value, who battle a silent enemy. Every moment, minute, hour of the day, they fight, fight a battle that leaves them bereft, broken and exhausted.

"I have to fight. This Negative Self Harm talk, fear, doubt, insecurity demon that tells me "its all pointless, why bother, stay in bed it's never gunna get better, give up already […] and on and on and on." [Jeremy Jackson]

Stop for a moment, if this were someone you loved, your brother, sister, wife, husband or friend how would you champion them in their constant battle.

By changing the culture and challenging the perceptions of Mental Health Awareness, Imperfectly Perfect captures the essence of humanity by helping the world to see there is a serious issue that has no barrier of fame, fortune, social status, creed, beliefs, ethnicity or age. Their innovation is centred with founder, Glenn Marsden who captures the visceral emotion frame by frame, tear drop by tear drop. Glenn's heart knows, truly knows the plight through personal experience.

With that heart he is breaking ground and forging new paths. Join Imperfectly Perfect, and some of the world's most influential public figures to build a legacy - your legacy that surpasses time. A legacy that provides education, healing, support, advocacy and public awareness so that the conversation around mental health disorders normalizes, enabling your children, grand children and future generations to live without stigmas attached to mental health. imperfectlyperfectcampaign.org

‘Being imperfectly perfect to me, It means being authentically myself, good or bad, right or wrong. Willing to voice what I feel at all times. But also take responsibility for my actions. I think it’s accountability, because before I wanted to wear that facade of perfection and I’m not perfect. Who even knows what perfect means in this world. Everybody else’s narrative of perfectionism is so different. So it’s not even a real thing. So why am I striving for something that’s not even real. So I think the core of me, is what I try to show to the world now and that’s when I feel imperfectly perfect.’ @thebriannedavis

From bringing compelling characters to life on screen in such Hollywood feature films like ‘JarHead’ with Jake Gyllenhaal, ‘Remember the Titans’ alongside Denzel Washington, ‘Prom Night’ with Brittany Snow, Kellan Lutz & Ildris Elba, calling the shots behind the scenes as a director and producer, lending her thoughts and opinions to the podcast airwaves, and even penning her debut literary work, ‘secret life of a Hollywood sex and love addict’ Brianne Davis has emerged in the entertainment industry as a powerhouse female.

The Cost of Ignoring Mental Health in the WorkPlace

Nearly half of workers have been suffering from mental health issues since the Covid-19 pandemic began, at a significant cost to their well-being and potentially to their employer’s bottom line.

It’s a commonly accepted fact that adults spend roughly one-third of their lives at work.

That’s a significant amount of time, within which we are likely to experience a spectrum of physical and mental health.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 300million people suffer from depression globally

Depression and anxiety cost the global economy an estimated $1 trillion each year in lost productivity.

USA.

Mental health and substance abuse cost US businesses between $80 and $100 billion annually. Another study showed that serious mental illness costs America up to $193.2 billion in lost earnings per year 

Depression is thought to count for up to 400 million lost work days annually

UK.

Mental Health problems in the workplace cost the economy approximately £70 billion annually

91 million workdays are lost in the UK due to symptoms of mental illness

AUSTRALIA. (According to the Australian Human Rights Commission report)

A total of 3.2 days per worker are lost each year through workplace stress

Stress-related workers’ compensation claims have doubled in recent years, costing over $10 billion each year

Preliminary research shows that Australian businesses lose over $6.5 billion each year by failing to provide early intervention/treatment for employees with mental health conditions

To find out how the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign is helping International organizations better support the mental wellbeing of their employees, simply email us at info@imperfectlyperfectcampaign.org today and one of the team will get back to you.

It is worth calculating the rising cost of mental ill-health to your business. 

Ways in which Managers can support Employees' Mental Health

Uncertainly can lead to very anxious times.

During this time of unprecedented times with COVID-19, and nobody know what is going to happen next.

We are seeing Mental Health related struggles rapidly on the increase.

As we navigate through these times, companies are likely to see employees struggle with depression, anxiety, burnout, trauma, and PTSD.

So what can Managers do?

MODEL HEALTHY BEHAVIOURS.

As a company don’t just say you support Mental Health.

Model it and lead by example.

COMMENCE A CULTURE CHANGE BY CHECKING IN

Make it intentional to make sure you are checking in with your employees and create a culture where it becomes normal for your team to do the same with each other.

With so many people working from home now during COVID'-19, this now more than ever is so important to implement.

Again, lead by example as a manager and don’t merely ask the generic ‘Are you OK’ ask some specific questions and ask your employees if they are needing additional support.

SHARE YOUR STORY

Through the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign, we have shown that as a leader, being honest about your mental health struggles opens the dialogue for employees to feel much more comfortable in talking with you about mental health challenges of their own.

COMMUNICATION IS KEY

Make sure you keep your team informed and try to always remove stress where possible to keep employee morale up.

INVEST IN EDUCATION / TRAINING OR SUPPORT

Now more than ever, you should prioritize proactive and preventive workplace mental health training for leaders, managers, and individual contributors.
