OPENAI IS LAUNCHING MENTALHEALTHBENCH, AN OPEN BENCHMARK DESIGNED TO EVALUATE HOW AI SYSTEMS RESPOND TO REALISTIC MENTAL-HEALTH CONVERSATIONS AND PROVIDE A STANDARDIZED WAY TO COMPARE PERFORMANCE. THE BENCHMARK COVERS ADULTS, TEENAGERS, CAREGIVERS AND CLINICIANS ACROSS MULTIPLE LANGUAGES, WHILE TESTING SCENARIOS INCLUDING EMOTIONAL RELIANCE, SELF-HARM, PSYCHOSIS, MANIA AND OTHER FORMS OF DISTRESS TO HELP RESEARCHERS IDENTIFY SAFETY GAPS.

May is #MentalHealthMonth#. 1 in 7 young people suffer from a mental health challenges, yet the symptoms are often overlooked. @WHO says parents, caregivers & teachers can play a role in helping to recognize the signs that a child or young person may need mental health support.

This is the #MentalHealthMinute#, an important message to support @heads_together & the UK’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek#. Wherever you are, whatever you’re feeling, @BTWFoundation and I want you to know it’s ok to say.

🐾 Sometimes the best support has four paws. For National Dog Day, we’re highlighting some of the therapy dogs who have visited our personnel at incidents across California. Wildfire response is demanding work, and taking care of the people behind the response is just as important as the work itself. These visits provide a moment to pause, reset and connect, helping support the mental health and overall well-being of our personnel during challenging assignments. We’re grateful to the organizations and handlers who make these visits possible and to the dogs who show up ready to do what they do best. #NationalDogDay# #CALFIRE# #FirefighterWellness# #MentalHealth#

How are you feeling today? Together with @TXT_bighit, we’re starting with something simple. Checking in with one another. Some days feel heavier than others. Sometimes the right words just don’t come. In those moments, it can help just to know someone is there. Someone who listens, stays with you and encourages you to get help when you need it. If you want to learn more about the campaign and how to support yourself or a friend, visit: Let’s take it one step at a time, together. Because together, we can be ready for a better tomorrow. #TogetherForTomorrow# #MentalHealth# #OnMyMind# #TOMORROW_X_TOGETHER#
