Mental Health is Health.
Let’s talk about it. Oct 6-12, 2024.
Welcome to WellWeek, an initiative led by the Houston hospitality industry to raise awareness about medical problems such as depression and anxiety.
It’s Mental Illness Awareness Week.
We recognize that mental well-being is key to thriving in all areas of life. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Week and World Mental Health Day on October 10th, we invite you to join us for WellWeek — ZERO COST programming focused on supporting mental health and fortitude for the food and beverage industry.
95% of people say mental health is important. Only 26% prioritize it.
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 decided to talk about mental health in the food and beverage industry.
Since then we have donated thousands of dollars to local mental health organizations.
We’ve teamed with licensed therapists to provide mental health training for hospitality staff and managers. We have partnered with community providers like Ethos Wellness to provide one-on-one counseling for food and beverage workers, free of cost.
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 were already on the rise and worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through conversation, we seek to eliminate the social prejudice that prevents many of our loved ones from seeking the help they need.
