“I am delighted to be Co-Chair of the B Well Initiative. In the ever increasing complex environment we live, work and play in today; mental health and wellbeing is key to creating an engaged and productive society.

The B Well initiative brings together a group of likeminded organisations and leaders to share insights, knowledge and collaborate on mental health and wellbeing outcomes that can unlock a workforces’ true potential and create a safer and more inclusive environment for everyone.

As part of the coalition I look forward to supporting the creation of meaningful resources and build on the excellent work done to date so that all leaders can be equipped with the tools to create an environment that has a positive impact on the mental health of their organisations.”
