Stress Awareness Month 2025:

Although we have stepped into May today, April has marked 2025’s Stress Awareness Month! For over 30 years The Stress Management Society has focused on a different theme, this year’s being – hashtag#leadwithlove.

#Leadwithlove “encourages us to approach ourselves and others with kindness, compassion, and acceptance, no matter the challenges we face”.

At HTC we know that despite aiming to centre this theme in your own life; actually, creating a life with reduced stress can be very very hard!

That is part of why we have five fully trained Mental Health First Aiders within the team- Matt Holroyd , Jane Peace , Jacob Bevan-Howarth , Benjamin Mundin-Smith and Kieran Ashton that can offer a confidential ear to those needing to talk.

Additionally, our Westfield Health plan, that we provide to all our employees, offers a range of benefits including (but not limited to):
·        24 Hour Advice and Information Line
·        Up to six sessions of structured counselling
·        Access to the Wisdom app
·        Telephone support from a qualified counsellor

We never want our employees to feel like they must suffer in silence, without support, so we’ve been re-sharing some of the resources mentioned above to enable the team to have the knowledge of all the resources avaliable to them.

Looking out for the mental health of our team is a large part of the type of company we want to be at HTC!
