Get EventWell at Confex
EventWell, the event
industry’s resource for
mental health and
wellbeing advice, has
launched its annual
mental health and
wellbeing campaign for
the events industry,
#EventWell20 and Event
Wellbeing Day.
The campaign will take place
on 26 February, in partnership
with International Confex and
Mash Media, The PA Show and
Forum Events & Media, Balancing
Edges, Event Industry News, and
Venues + Events Live, supported
by the Mind and Rethink Mental
Health ‘Time to Change’
campaign team.
#EventWell20 will be followed
by Event Wellbeing Week
(#EWW20), which will take place
from 21-27 September.
Approximately 20 companies
and employers have signed the
EventWell Manifesto in the last
four weeks. Employers include
Capita Travel & Events, Absolute
Corporate Events and Venues
and Events International and the
HBAA.
The EventWell team
will be at stand AVG22
in the Association
Village Green. Mental
health and wellbeing
speaker sessions are
also planned for the first
day of International Confex,
and both days of the PA Show.
Helen Moon, managing director
of EventWell and founder of Event
Wellbeing Week, says one in
three event professionals are
struggling with mental ill health
every year. She says: “Lots is
being done by way of training
mental health first aiders and
introducing wellbeing
programmes and benefits, which
is great. However, what event
companies and businesses also
need to do is look to incorporate
the government’s six core
standards identified in the 2017
Thriving at Work report, which
address workplace culture and
lead to safer, diverse and
inclusive workplaces that lead to
happier and healthier working
environments.”
