Workplace mental health is complex – from understanding the topic to implementing best practices that are culturally adapted, it takes understanding, perseverance, passion to instil the optimal culture suited for each business.

Most of all, it takes time.

Mental wellbeing means more than just feeling well or smiling all the time. It is even more challenging when we are faced with the office walls that embrace us several hours a day, with the habits and beliefs that have cradled us since always. The challenges and obstacles to create a space where managers and employees can feel at ease and speak up, depend on a mix of factors, not least norms, country culture, industries, and generations. These sometimes seem impossible to overcome, as we don’t even know where to start; other times, they just feel intangible.

But we must start somewhere. At Bearapy, we start small, one step at a time. We sow the seeds for deep, real change to happen, no matter how long it may take. Although we know that a long-lasting change is a gradual process, we also know that in the long run, it is a highly rewarding one.

For everyone.

That is why we persisted. And in 2021, we have done our part in supporting organizations to take care of their employees’ wellbeing through tackling systemic root causes. As you can see in the graphic below, we can proudly celebrate our accomplishments. And we thank all our partners and supporters for their trust and encouragement over the years. 

We are always looking for like-minded people to join our team and make us better. We also rely on volunteers on many of our social impact projects. If you are interested, get in touch!
