Your mental health and overall well-being are incredibly important to us, and we have a number of initiatives listed below to support you. Mental health isn't linear, and we recognise that sometimes it’s not about improving/fixing, but instead how to manage it best.

Remember that mental health is just as important as physical health.

Please talk to your manager or the People Team if you have a suggestion, or need help ❤️‍🩹
