Working with organisations that share our commitment to reducing stress and improving mental health and wellbeing

Our Partners

ISMAUK works with a small number of partner organisations who share our long-term commitment to reducing stress and improving mental health and wellbeing in workplaces and communities. Together, we collaborate on practical initiatives, campaigns and events that promote healthier, more sustainable ways of living and working.

Why Do Partners Matter?

Our partners are an important part of how we deliver our mission. They bring their own expertise, networks and influence, and we bring our specialist knowledge of stress management, mental health and workplace wellbeing. By working together, we can reach more people, share good practice more widely and encourage more organisations to take wellbeing and psychological safety seriously. Partnership is about shared values, mutual support and a genuine desire to make a positive difference.

Partnership Benefits

Partnerships with ISMAUK are collaborative and practical. They typically include:

  • Mutual support for events and campaigns, including Stress Awareness Day and International Stress Awareness Week.
  • Sharing and amplifying co-branded messages across websites, press releases, social media, blogs and newsletters.
  • Involving authoritative speakers and experts on stress, wellbeing and mental health for events, conferences and webinars.
  • Sharing links and free downloadable resources that can be used within organisations or more widely in the public arena.

We are proud to work with each of our partners and value the contribution they make to our shared goals.
