Mental Health is Health.
Let’s talk about it. October 13-26, 2025
Welcome to WellWeek, an initiative created by the Houston hospitality industry to raise awareness about medical problems such as depression and anxiety.
We recognize that mental well-being is key to thriving in all areas of life. In honor of keeping well, we invite you to join us for WellWeek — a fundraiser, an awareness campaign, a calendar of events to support mental wellness and resilience in the food and beverage industry.
While every May and October sees a special focus on mental well-being and mental illness awareness, we believe EVERY week is WellWeek.
It’s OK to not be OK.
Put a fork in mental health stigma.
One in five of us suffers from mental illness. Rates of mental illness worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic and remain high.
Through conversation, we seek to eliminate the social prejudice that prevents many of our loved ones from seeking the help they need.
It CAN get better.
We’ve got help.
Together, we can break the stigma around mental illness and shine a light on local resources who are ready to help.
In 2018, we created WellWeek to lead a movement to change mental health in the food and beverage industry.
Since then, our campaigns have raised and donated thousands of dollars to local mental health organizations. We’ve teamed with community leaders such as University of Houston School of Social Work, Champion Counseling and Ethos Wellness to provide one-on-one counseling for food and beverage workers, free of cost. We provide mental health training opportunities for hospitality staff and managers. We offer peer support groups led by licensed social workers to battle grief, burnout, depression, anxiety.
