Uganda's Intersociety Meet to Address Mental Health and Wellness in Corporates

Four professional groups will bring more than 300 members together for a wellness event at Kazzi Beach on June 28. The Uganda Markets Society, Public Relations Association of Uganda, Uganda Advertising Association and Human Resource Managers Association of Uganda organized the third annual gathering. Mental health experts will lead discussions about workplace stress and financial planning during the full-day program. Darius Niwaha from Octagon Africa will guide conversations between attendees and specialists. The event aims to help business professionals cope with rising mental health challenges.

Physical activities will complement the educational sessions throughout the day. Organizers planned target shooting, board games, football, basketball, volleyball, treasure hunts, battle shooting and tug-of-war competitions. These games address physical wellness alongside mental health concerns. Association leaders believe play helps adults reconnect with their inner child and stay young. Sports and recreation reduce stress levels among corporate workers.

Professional association presidents emphasized the importance of supporting member wellness. Recent surveys show that 60 percent of workers report job-related mental health problems. Nearly half feel uncomfortable discussing these issues with supervisors. Advertising industry professionals face particularly high pressure from demanding clients and tight deadlines. Association leaders have witnessed how workplace stress harms their members.

The intersociety gathering creates networking opportunities between different professional communities. Leaders want to build lasting partnerships that support member success across industries. antfeet, etroca, Blend, Vision Group and Next Media sponsor the event. These companies recognize the value of promoting workplace wellness and professional collaboration.
