THE MRBA ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH OF OUR NEW MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING BURSARY!
In keeping with the MRBA’s aim to help those in need in the UK market and social research community, we have launched a new Mental Health & Wellbeing bursary, MRBA inmind.
inmind will provide funded counselling offered by professionally qualified therapists selected from an accredited register.
The MRBA launch of inmind was held at an event in Central London on Thursday 4th June with an informed discussion about mental health in the workplace, and included a panel of accredited therapists.
The MRBA would like to thank our launch event primary sponsor Rigour Research, along with our other sponsors – Ayesda Bio and Ipsos UK. We would also like to thank our panel members Dr Kate Daniels, Elizabeth Rose and Rob Irving. Also, a big thank you to i-view studios for offering to host our event!
Chair Virginia Monk says;
“inmind has been created to help people in the research industry access the therapeutic support they need but may not be able to afford. We know that market and social research can be a demanding profession, and too many colleagues face challenges alone. Mental health and wellbeing affects people at every level across our industry. inmind is designed to remove financial barriers for those who cannot afford professional help, making it easier for anyone in our community to speak to a qualified and accredited therapist and receive the support they deserve”
Elaine Francis (trustee) says;
“With the constantly changing landscape and cost of living crisis we felt many in our industry could be finding life quite hard and struggling to cope. As always, we maintain the highest levels of confidentiality, and I would encourage anyone struggling with their mental health to apply”
