LinkedIn Live: Mental Health Matters
with From Now and Be In Your Element
On 29th May, we went live on LinkedIn to talk all things mental health in the events industry, sharing stories, tools, and support strategies to help professionals protect their wellbeing. This session was hosted by From Now in collaboration with Lucy Eden, founder of Be In Your Element.
This page brings together everything we shared during the live, plus a few bonus resources to help you recharge, reconnect, and put people at the centre of your events.
Why This Matters
The events world is high-energy, fast-paced, and people-first, but that can come at a cost. Recent studies highlight just how widespread mental health challenges are in our industry:
- 74% of live event professionals have experienced poor mental health due to their job
