This year’s theme for World Mental Health Month was “Mental health at work”. The PMHP facilitated a mindfulness-based wellness session with staff who were able to centre themselves and be reassured that their well-being matters.

We understand the importance of maintaining mental wellbeing at work. That's why we offer each team member four Mental Health Days per year. We know that Mental Health Days alone aren't enough and will continue to work on ways to uniquely support each staff member's needs 💪❤️
