There are factors at play in all workplaces which have the potential to negatively impact employee wellbeing, but the events industry can be a particularly challenging and unpredictable environment.

Late nights on site, pressurised deadlines, logistical challenges, contractual precarity and last minute supply chain issues are just some of the things which might contribute to the high stress levels many event professionals experience on a regular basis.  🤯

Aside from work itself, we all have things going on in our personal lives which not only affect our productivity or performance, but also our self esteem or general wellbeing; this course was all about learning to identify signs of poor mental health, respond to crisis scenarios and provide the most appropriate support to people who may be struggling by directing them to helpful resources or service providers.

We could all use a bit of help sometimes, and we want to encourage anyone to seek support if they need to, whoever they are and whatever may be troubling them.
