As we had been in 2018, we were once again proud to support last year’s Mad World Summit and this time we were privileged to provide support to the rather awesome Big White Wall; a unique online mental health community. Accessible any time, anywhere.
Big White Wall was founded in 2007 and since then, has supported over 160,000 people living with anxiety and depression.
People come to Big White Wall for help with a wide range of mental health and wellbeing issues – from anxiety, depression, stress and trauma, to relationship problems and lifestyle challenges.
Of these:
67% report improved wellbeing from using BWW such as reduced isolation, improving coping skills and improved emotional health
For 48% of members, Big White Wall was their first step in accessing mental health support, outside of professional intervention
1 in 2 members share an issue for the first time on BWW
Quite incredible, we think.
At obo, we believe that addressing mental health is the absolute key to unlocking great workspaces. If your organisation would like to discover more about the strategies that are being adopted, we’d love to share our experiences with you.
