Wellness Day for Mental Health Awareness Week
Mental Health Awareness Week falls 13-19th May 2024 and Latus Group is reflecting back on the time we welcomed Oli Patrick and Jamie Clements to Latus HQ for a Wellness Day.
During our Wellness Day we experienced a breathwork session by Jamie Clements (@the_breath_space) an engaging seminar by Oli Patrick (@_olipatrick) as well as challenged some of our staff to brave the ice bath challenge!
Mental Health is important at every stage of life and is such an important topic to discuss and share because Mental Health can affect everybody, it affects how we think, feel and function every day.
Mental Health is also important because it also affects our physical health too.
