It’s Mental Health Awareness Week!

Everybody knows the importance of physical health, but people tend to forget just how equally important it is to prioritise our mental health. For many years there has been a stigma around talking about how we really feel, and how this could be manifesting in other areas of our life, but research shows that 1 in every 4 people will experience a mental health problem of some kind each year in England.

Here at Zest, we have several touchpoints we can use if we feel we require assistance or just want to stay on top of our mental health.

Our Employee Assistance Programme provides lots of resources, including 6 free counseling sessions for us or our immediate family to take advantage of.

Alongside this, we hold quarterly well-being meetings with our People Team, giving us the opportunity to raise any concerns we have within the business but also on a personal level.

This week is about encouraging people to speak out and reach out, should they need to, and tackle the stigma around mental health.
