Nurturing Our Wellbeing
Building Healthy Workspaces through Mental Wellness Practices

The concept of mental well-being has picked up pace in recent years, with the pandemic shedding light on its importance. Organizations are realizing that mental health issues are one of the leading causes of stress leave and absenteeism. They are trying to combat the low job motivation in their workforces by adopting a holistic wellness culture.

Implementing long-term mental well¬ness practices, however, require extensive knowledge, skills, and resources.

This is where Nurturing Our Wellbeing comes in.

A mental wellness consulting business, Nurturing Our Wellbeing offers specialized services for organizations to improve their workplace wellness culture. Its broad range of services, including executive mental health consultation, customized self-care programs, workplace stress, somatic trauma management training, interactive live wellness webinars, and organization wellness assessments, guide organizations to create healthier workplaces.

Nurturing Our Wellbeing is unique in its mental wellness service offerings. It adopts a highly customized, interactive, and practical boutique mental health model for teams and/or groups within different industries. It incorporates clinical experience from the fields of nursing, psychotherapy, yoga, education, a multitude of complimentary wellness approaches and also incorporates modalities focused on unconscious factors which can impact the development of a wellness culture. Be it team training or one-on-one executive coaching, its boutique mental wellness services assure the best results by constantly improvising its training approach and incorporating client feedback.

Workplace transformation starts from the core of an organization and needs a sustainability plan. Nurturing Our Wellbeing spends significant time understanding the actual needs of an organization or a specific team, regardless of seniority or leadership level. This is followed by creating a solid wellness foundation at the center, which helps clients understand the intersections between mental health and different social factors, including diversity, equity, and oppression, increasing a sense of connection. It prioritizes mental health along with the physical and spiritual health of employees. Without an understanding of the teams core needs, its nearly impossible to infuse accountability, sustainability, and meaningful mental health transformation, all of which are essential for developing a culture of wellness.

A lot of emphasis is given to improving team morale, as it signifies mindfulness and empathy and provides the staff with a sense of belonging. Team morale is directly tied to employee engagement, retention, and job satisfaction. Knowing their employer is holistically invested in them encourages employees to work harder and contributes to reduced risks concerning employee distress.

“Our resource materials and training approaches are inclusive and comprise many learning principles as different people process information differently. We also provide holistic tools and strategies for everyone within the organization to enhance physical, spiritual, and mental health,” states Angelique Benois, executive director of Nurturing Our Wellbeing.

Nurturing Our Wellbeing’s services have benefited senior management teams, human resources professionals, front-line workers, and students transitioning into various professions. A fitting example is a client experiencing a high employee burnout and compassion fatigue rates. Low team morale and toxic interpersonal interactions also added to the issue, ultimately impacting the productivity of the team and their consumers. Nurturing Our Wellbeing conducted an organizational assessment via surveys and individual interviews to identify the client’s specific requirements. The results showed that individuals felt unheard in an organization that stigmatized mental health, misunderstood self-care, and lacked transparency. Nurturing Our Wellbeing developed an inclusive plan to address these concerns. Everybody had a voice of equal value, and it didn’t just involve the senior management team. It was measurable so they could see the outcomes. Based on the feedback, it was a huge success, effectively addressing all of their mental health challenges.

This success results from Benois’s two decades of mental health expertise, combined with her team’s relentless pursuit of excellence. Like the acronym N.O.W suggests, there’s no room for procrastination when it comes to addressing mental wellness, according to Nurturing Our Wellbeing (N.O.W). It uses the power of the present to plan and implement holistic wellness practices that promise healthier employees and workplaces.
