Mental Health Survey

Good Afternoon,

We hope this message finds you well. To mark the upcoming Mental Health Awareness Week, we are carrying out a Mental Health survey to help us better understand LGBTQ+ employee experiences at work.

As a valued supporter of myGwork, we would be grateful if you could share this survey with your members and network through your social media channels and newsletter. By taking part and sharing this survey, you'll not only contribute to a better understanding of mental health challenges but also stand a chance to win one of three indulgent home spa treatment vouchers from Urban worth £90 each!

Check out the full Mental Health Survey article for more information.

And here is the direct link to our Mental Health Survey.

Thank you for being a part of our community and for your continued support.

Warm regards

Yasin & the myGwork team
