World Mental Health day is an opportunity to take stock of where we stand in the humanitarian sector, despite much progress made in this field over the past couple of decades. This episode looks at 5 persisting ideas and myths in the humanitarian sector regarding mental health that may not only be inaccurate but actually harmful. They make it harder to tackle mental health issues adequately, with serious consequences not just for aid workers, but also humanitarian organizations and projects, and ultimately, crisis-affected people and our collective ability to have a positive impact.  A myth-debunking episode.

Our brain has a remarkable capacity to make up stories based on facts to help us make sense of the world and help us make decisions. The problem is, sometimes, those narratives are not always the ones we need to take action and move in the direction we want to go. In a sector as intense as humanitarian aid, no one needs more unecessary, stress, solely added on by our brain. The skill of auditing our own narratives, defining clearly which ones serve our purpose and which ones don't, and deciding deliberately which ones we want to keep choosing, can make the biggest difference in your life and in the humanitarian sector as a whole. This episode shows exactly how to do just that, step by step.
