Mental Health Awareness – Elevating Wellbeing at VEO and Vida Hotels & Resorts

In today’s busy world, we often forget how much mental health matters. We talk a lot about staying physically fit, but what about mental wellbeing? The reality is that stress, anxiety, and burnout are more common than we think, and it’s time to prioritise mental health just as much as physical health. This October, Veo Fitness and Vida Hotels & Resorts collaborated to host the Lift The Silence event that focuses on men’s mental health awareness. They are creating a space where men can freely discuss mental health and take positive steps toward feeling better inside and out. This whole event, whether it’s to relieve stress or just to unwind, is devoted to prioritising the body and mind through pleasant and stimulating activities. 

The Men’s Mental Health Day Event 

On October 10, Veo will hold an exclusive Men’s Mental Health Day event in collaboration with SQUATWOLF. Through open talks and self-care activities, the event seeks to break down the stigma associated with men’s mental health, and it seeks to provide an environment where mental health is valued. It’s also a movement to create a community of men who feel supported, not simply an event. Vida Hotels & Resorts is backing this initiative with special vouchers for participants, making this day even more rewarding. 

Event Highlights

  1. Sunrise Yoga (6:00 AM): Start the day with a tranquil yoga practice to promote peace in both the body and the mind. 
  2. Talk by Steven Gillespie (6:45 AM): The Head of Operations at Veo Fitness Group will discuss the connection between fitness and mental health. 
  3. Keynote by Dr. Smitha Prabhakar (7:00 AM): Dr. Prabhakar, one of the country’s top mental health specialists, will address specific mental health issues that men face in an engaging Q&A session. 
  4. Sound Healing Class (7:25 AM): To assist attendees in de-stressing, end the event with a soothing sound healing session.
