WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH?
If you’re a Drizzl’d Blog reader, you may have noticed we frequently promote positive mental health and well-being. This type of topic may make you wonder; Why would a dessert brand like Drizzl’d engage in discussions about mental health?
We all deserve the sweetest life!
In today’s world, it’s nearly impossible to meet someone who hasn’t been touched by mental health issues, either directly or through connections with friends and family. Despite this, mental health often remains a stigmatized topic—shrouded in silence, tucked away as taboo, and fraught with the fear of judgment.
At Drizzl’d, we're breaking that silence. We believe that opening up about mental health is essential, not just for healing but also for fostering a community where support and understanding are readily available.
You might not know this, but my background is not just in business. I have well over a decade of experience in nursing in the field of Cardiothoracics Surgery and Respiratory Medicine and healthcare management, roles that brought me face-to-face with a spectrum of health challenges experienced by patients and staff. These experiences were profound, teaching me the importance of empathy and active listening. Whether sharing a positive note or navigating the complexities of mental health struggles, I’ve seen firsthand the impact of simply being there for someone.
This personal journey has not been without its own trials. Like many, I’ve navigated the ups and downs of life, feeling the strain of mental health challenges within my circle of friends and family. These experiences have deeply influenced my approach to business and life, igniting a fervent passion to advocate for mental health awareness.
Moving forward, Drizzl’d isn’t just about delighting with sweets; it’s about enriching lives. We are committed to integrating mental health advocacy into our business model. Plans are already underway to launch initiatives that not only raise awareness but also actively contribute to mental health causes. We're excited about unveiling these plans and showing how a dessert brand can play a role in promoting wellbeing.
Stay tuned as Drizzl’d takes steps to blend sweetness with substance, proving that our commitment to our customers extends far beyond our products. We are here to spark conversations, support our community, and make a positive impact in the realm of mental health.
