Global Events Community - Wellness - Bright Ideas Event Agency

As Event Planners we are the supporters, the creators, the solution providers and the ‘get it done’ people. In these challenging times we need to take the opportunity to look after ourselves. Now we have added stress of loss of business and time on our hands to think about it. Keeping in touch and offering support during isolation is so important. We can all do better at taking care of ourselves and the time is NOW. We have gathered some information and resources to help you focus on wellness and your mental health.

If you have any good resources or wellness tips to share, please email them to The GEC and they will be added to this page.

Please note that this page will be updated regularly.
