HUMMINGBIRD HEALTH
WHO ARE
WE ARE HUMMINGBIRD HEALTH?
At We Are Hummingbird Health (WAHBH), we want to transform how people feel about their mental health. We believe in creating a world where the prejudice and stigma around mental health no longer exists. Join us to create a positive working environment that benefits everyone. Together, we can make a real difference.
WHY DID WE SET UP
WE ARE HUMMINGBIRD HEALTH?
I have personally experienced and witnessed the challenges faced by those affected by mental illness. In today's fast-paced, results-driven environment, speaking out can feel impossible.
WAHBH has been created to help educate as many people as possible in Mental Health Awareness Training. But what is Mental Health Awareness Training? It's about implementing knowledge and understanding within your organisation to make a meaningful difference.
When you invest in this training, you can empower yourself and others to speak up in a healthy and confident way. This helps you to make positive mental health decisions whilst encouraging your employees and employers to do the same.
Together, we can create a supportive environment where everyone feels empowered to address their mental health openly.
The 'We are Hummingbird' group aims to create a global community where people can achieve the strength and confidence they need to communicate openly. Doing this changed my life – it allowed me to have the strength to follow my passion, start my own company and help others.
I hope that this community becomes one that you and your staff can relate to, believe in and feel part of.

OUR MISSION AND VALUES
Our mission is to create a world full of hummingbirds spreading the word about mental health.
By openly talking about mental health issues, our hummingbirds work to remove the fear and stigma that often surrounds mental health.
Ultimately, we want to ensure that nobody feels alone and that everyone has someone to talk to for support and understanding.
How do we do this? We deliver pragmatic training to empower organisations to collaborate fluidly and prevent mental health issues, including suicidal thoughts and behaviours from becoming worse. A happier workforce is a stronger workforce. Let's create a culture of tolerance and understanding for better mental health.
There is one condition to be part of our hummingbird community: once you become a hummingbird, you ARE one for life!
