PUSH offer free 1-2-1 mental health support sessions to employees struggling during second lockdown
PUSH, a leading wellbeing and performance company grounded in human behaviour, has today announced that they will be offering free virtual 1-2-1 mental health support sessions to provide assistance to those struggling during what is expected to be a very challenging four weeks.
All individuals who require the time and space to talk about their worries, will be able to meet with the team of experts online and receive a free mental health support session over the course of the national lockdown.
The sessions will run from the first official day of lockdown (Thursday 5th November) until Tuesday 2nd December when the lockdown is expected to end. Booking sessions early is advised as these will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
The free support is made possible thanks to social networking app Bumble, who awarded PUSH one of 150 grants in the amount of £5,000, in a bid to support small businesses during the pandemic. Cate Murden, founder of PUSH and her team have put this grant to good use and the additional funding covers the resource required to make the complementary sessions possible.
Cate Murden, Founder and coach at PUSH, “With plans for a second lockdown in full motion, now more than ever, it’s important to gauge people’s mindset and normalise discussions around mental health. Some businesses are really struggling as a result of this pandemic and in some situations, this will lead to team restructures or even redundancies.
“Change at the best of times can cause people an immense amount of stress and anxiety so we really feel that it is important to do as much as we can to support people and help them through what could potentially be one of the most challenging winter’s on record.”
To further support their clients looking after their teams in a virtual workplace, PUSH is developing a lifestyle app. With soft launch scheduled for November 16th, the app has the ability to integrate other wellbeing platforms such as Headspace and provide assistance through four base themes: LEARN > TIME OUT > FEEL > CONNECT.
