A new service for businesses to support customers and employees facing mental and emotional health issues has been launched.

Holler It provides mental health and well-being packages to businesses and employers who are seeking to step up their commitment to those who have experienced additional stress and anxiety during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The launch of Holler It coincided with Mental Health Awareness Week and comes after the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned of an “upsurge in the number and severity of mental illness” in the aftermath of the global lockdown. UK mental health charities are also reporting an unprecedented level of demand on their resources.

During the coronavirus crisis, Holler It is giving the public access to its wellness portal for free. Simply register at www.hollerit.uk to receive an email with your access code.

Lily Gupta, Holler It founder, says: “The mental health and wellbeing of people has been severely impacted by the pandemic.

“Increased worries surrounding job security, finances, exposure to the deadly disease and isolation have caused overwhelming levels of stress and anxiety.

“It is getting worse as people are now faced with returning to work, or sending their children to school, amongst other issues.

“People face mental health challenges every day, but COVID-19 has exacerbated the situation for millions. Mental Health Awareness Week is a time to reflect on the difficulties that might come up for some.

“This is the right time to launch Holler It. We are calling on businesses to engage and use our services so that together we can start to improve the mental and emotional health of Britain.

“It is time for businesses to give back to their customers – and support them in a meaningful way. Holler it believes in supporting businesses to support customers”.
