EMPOWERmental

A 2-month online journey towards our well-being

We, as professionals driven by passion, social impact and innovation, face a lot of stress that can arise from our commitment. Passion from our work often leads to long hours and emotional strain, resulting in high stress levels.

Seeing this tendency in our work environment inspired us to create this 2-month journey dedicated to fostering resilience and supporting each other’s mental and physical well-being. This journey is designed to create a nurturing and mindful space where we can grow personally and professionally. Through workshops, shared experiences, reflective practices, and a supportive community, we will develop strategies to manage stress and build a sustainable approach to our work.
