GLAS Original: Be Human With Yourself and Others (World Mental Health Day 2026)

£0.00

The “Be Human” visual connects with GLAS by showing how awareness, understanding, and intentional action can shape the way we treat ourselves and others. It brings together three practical principles: compassion through the heart, curiosity through the head, and intentional action through the hands. Through a GLAS lens, these represent the importance of recognising what we and others may be experiencing, remaining open to perspectives beyond our own, and turning that understanding into meaningful action. The visual reinforces that we cannot always see what someone is carrying, making self-awareness, empathy, and strong connections essential to building healthier relationships and more supportive environments. Ultimately, it encourages us to align what we feel, what we understand, and what we do — because positive change begins with how we show up for ourselves and others.

  • The “Be Human” visual highlights the importance of compassion, curiosity, and intentional action in our everyday lives. It reminds us that everyone carries experiences and challenges that may not be immediately visible, making kindness and understanding essential to how we connect with others.

    Through GLAS, this connects to awareness and relationships — recognising our own emotions, remaining open to other perspectives, and listening to understand rather than judge. By becoming more aware of ourselves and those around us, we can respond with greater empathy and build stronger, more supportive connections.

    The visual also encourages us to turn understanding into action. Whether that means reaching out, offering support, or asking for help, small intentional steps can make a meaningful difference. GLAS reinforces the importance of aligning what we feel, what we understand, and how we act to create positive, lasting change for ourselves and others.

  • 1. Personal Reflection: Use the visual as a prompt for individuals to reflect on how they treat themselves and others, identifying one way to practise greater compassion, curiosity, or intentionality.

    2. Team Discussions: Share the visual in a team meeting to encourage open conversations about empathy, listening without judgement, and creating a more supportive workplace culture.

    3. Mental Health Awareness: Use the visual during Mental Health Awareness initiatives to encourage people to check in with themselves and others, recognise when support is needed, and take small, meaningful steps to help.

  • 1. Awareness – Take a moment to recognise what you are feeling and consider what others might be experiencing before responding.

    2. Reflection – Challenge your assumptions by listening with curiosity and seeking to understand another person’s perspective without judgement.

    3. Connection – Reach out to someone, check in with how they are doing, and create space for honest, supportive conversations.

    4. Intentional Action – Turn understanding into action by offering help, asking for support when needed, or making one small change that strengthens wellbeing and relationships.
