MENTAL WELLNESS LAB

Exploring the connection between mental wellness, work and economic livelihoods

The Mental Wellness Lab creates a practical space for people to explore how mental wellness influences personal capacity, work, decision-making and economic livelihoods.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Wellbeing is part of how people work and live

People are at the centre of every organization, business and livelihood. Yet the mental and emotional conditions in which people work are often treated separately from productivity, decision-making and economic life.
