Wellness Hub
Sometimes you need professional expert mental health support, whether you are at crisis point or feel it’s just around the corner. The Wellness Hub exists to connect you to the help you need, when you need it, and now.
By bringing together a directory of highly recommended mental health professionals and experts all in one place, this hub aims to help expediate your mental wellness journey.
Origin story
The idea of creating an online resource point, where people in the finance industry could quickly access the contacts and support they need, without going through an often-lengthy triaging system, was conceived and developed by FBAA Managing Director, Peter White AM.
Having experienced a tough year in his personal life through 2023, Peter found himself burdened by dark thoughts.
Having established a reputation as a mental health advocate in the broking industry since 2016, Peter is well aware of mental health and the struggles it can present to daily life. Thankfully, he knew to seek help immediately. He reached out to a contact he had met through his work as an advocate. Through therapy, Peter got back his mental health back on track.
Out of this experience, Peter realised not everyone has direct access to great professional and expert support. There is often a lengthy triaging system, that can leave you waiting weeks for your first appointment. With the goal of bypassing this system, the Wellness Hub was founded as a resource for finance professionals to access industry recommended professionals and experts. It’s a resource that tells you who to go to, and aims to get you in front of them (or on the phone to them) quicker.
Peter knows firsthand the obstacles mental health can create for you. He also knows the critical step of recognising when you need to seek help, and the power of great professional support to get you back to being well.
