The campaign will run during Mental Health Awareness Week 2021 from 10-16 May. 

The company says it decided to run the talks because the pandemic has meant an “extremely challenging” time for everyone including financial advisers.

It says many advisers have had to cope with increased demands and workloads as well as new ways of working with clients who needed their own support through major financial and life events.  

The talks cover a number of issues including why it is harder to ‘switch off’ these days and how to change workplace culture for the better.

The lunchtime talks are available to advisers and their colleagues:

• Mon 10 May 1pm - 2pm ‘How to overcome imposter syndrome feelings’ 
• Tue 11 May 1pm - 2pm ‘How to (actually) switch off from work’
• Wed 12 May 1pm - 2pm ‘How to be a more emotionally intelligent manager'
• Thu 13 May 1pm - 2pm ‘How to change the culture at your company’ 

Spill also offers one-to-one support including: a free ’ask a therapist’ service where advisers can browse advice from therapists and one-to-one personal therapy sessions. These are offered via Quilter’s There For You hub at a 30% discount. 

Paul Feeney, CEO of Quilter, said: “We’re all feeling a bit knocked about after the past year, but we’ve all found reserves of strength and resilience we didn’t know we had. But this period will pass, indeed is passing and as we come out of it it’s vital to reflect on what has changed, what we’ve learnt, including about ourselves, and how we can use that to create better lives.

“Right now many people are feeling anxious about returning to normality, including going back to life in an office, even if not for five days a week. Mental Health Awareness Week provides the ideal opportunity to take some time to take care of our mental health and emotional wellbeing, so I’m really pleased to be able to offer these talks to help advisers through this difficult period.” 

Calvin Benton, CEO of Spill: "The last year has been emotionally tough on everyone, and so for Mental Health Awareness Week we're proud to be offering a series of talks to advisers that draw upon the expertise of Spill's therapists to provide helpful tips for common issues, whether that's making more time to switch off and rest or trying to better support those around you."
