The StriveTogether Project
Strive is a practical, proactive and evidence-based solution to mental fitness. Our goal is to support and enhance mental fitness, resulting in a happier, healthier, and more productive life.
StriveTogether is a corporate social responsibility project ran by SanaMente Services, who provide the Strive service. We believe that everybody deserves and is capable of living their best life when given the right resources and support. That is why it is StriveTogether's mission to offer Strive to people who would ordinarily be unable to access it due to financial reasons.
How does Strive support people?
Access to our online platform with over 100 interactive resources, activities, video and audios
Live monthly webinars with expert speakers
Weekly online group focusing on healthy living
1:1 support from a Strive Mentor
Community support from our supportive network of Strivers
How StriveTogether Works
At Strive, we believe that wellbeing extends beyond the workplace, and it's our mission to make a positive impact in the wider community.
1. Ambassadors- Our StriveTogether project engages individuals who are passionate about mental health and wellbeing.
2. Partners: We collaborate with charitable organisations who play a pivotal role in identifying individuals in need of Strive's support.
3. Referral and support: Once identified, individuals in need are referred to Strive by our charity partners. This referral system ensures that those who require assistance receive the support they need.
4. Funding through community efforts: We raise funds through various channels, including networking events, fundraisers, and exciting challenges. These events not only generate the financial support needed but also create a sense of community and shared purpose.
5. Improving lives: The funds raised go directly towards providing Strive's resources to individuals referred by our charity partners. This includes access to our 1:1 support and a digital platform of resources aimed at improving mental fitness.
