Promotional Items To Tackle Stress | Promotional Wellbeing Gifts

The irony isn't lost on us: the fact that International Stress Week falls on the same week that England is due to edge back into a nationwide lockdown and that the American election results are being announced somehow feels very fitting.

Of course, 2020 has been a year like no other, with many of us feeling the impact of the global pandemic in a variety of ways, be it professionally, financially, emotionally... And more often than not, all three, combining to create a perfect cocktail of stress, served on the rocks.

With that in mind, there really is no more important time than the coming days and weeks to consider the mental wellbeing of your customers and colleagues, with International Stress Awareness Week serving as the perfect reminder that mental health is just as important as physical.

What Is International Stress Awareness Week?

International Stress Awareness Week has the goal of putting health, happiness and wellbeing into the 'heart' of business, with this year's awareness drive having a focus on the impact COVID-19 has had - and will continue to have with the looming imminent lockdown.

The week offers a platform that shines a light on our mental health, as well as the challenges that stress and mental health problems can present us all with.

According to data shared by International Stress Awareness Week, one-in-five UK adults has experienced some form of depression during the Coronavirus pandemic; this figure is almost double what it was prior to COVID.

With many Brits experiencing anxiety, stress and panic since the first lockdown began back in March, it's clear to say that factoring in the mental health and stress levels of your staff and customers has never been more important.

We're here to help. From products purely for helping to relieve stress to branded giveaways that can make the current climate that little bit easier to navigate, we have a wide range of promotional items available that will allow your brand to connect meaningfully with those who matter most to your business.
