Introducing the Strong Women Strong Minds Summit: a virtual event taking place on 11 May 2021 that will empower you to improve your mental wellbeing by immersing yourself in the natural world and nurturing your physical self.
Nearly two thirds of Stylist readers have said that they’ve suffered mental health issues in the last six months. From experiencing increased mood swings and feeling emotionally exhausted to increased sadness and feeling cut-off from friends, family and colleagues, it’s clear that we need extra support more than ever.
Mental Health Awareness Week has grown to be one of the biggest awareness weeks across the UK, and this year Stylist, through our strength and wellness brand Strong Women, is getting involved once more to connect with our audience. The theme for Mental Health Awareness Week this year is Nature – something everyone has made a powerful reconnection with over the last year, and something that is vital for the nourishment of our physical and mental health.
