Mental Health Awareness Week: Prioritising People in the Digital Space

Supporting Mental Health Awareness Week

At O’Brien Media, we’re proud to support Mental Health Awareness Week—an important time to reflect on the significance of mental wellbeing, not just in our personal lives, but in the workplace and digital environments too. With mental health challenges affecting 1 in 4 people each year in the UK, this week is a powerful reminder that support, understanding, and positive change are more important than ever.

This Year’s Theme: Movement – Moving More for Our Mental Health

Organised by the Mental Health Foundation, this year’s theme focuses on movement and its incredible benefits for mental health. Getting active—whether it’s walking the dog, doing some light yoga, or just taking a short break from screens—can massively boost our mood and help manage stress.

Mental Health in the Digital Age

As a digital agency, we’re deeply aware of the impact technology and online life can have on mental health. While digital platforms connect us, they can also overwhelm us. That’s why, when we create websites and manage digital campaigns, we prioritise clarity, accessibility, and wellbeing. We want online experiences to be easy to navigate and empowering, not stressful.

Our Commitment at O’Brien Media

Here in our Old Town Swindon offices, mental health is more than just a campaign—it’s part of how we work:

🌿 We’ve filled our space with greenery and use lighting to create a calming work environment.
💬 Our team, at all levels, keep communication open and honest.
🐱 We even chat about cats, movies, and all the little joys that help us balance busy workdays.

Flexible Digital Solutions for Modern Businesses

Our services—from website design and SEO to social media marketing—are built around people. Whether you’re a startup or a well-established business, we offer flexible solutions that fit around your needs and priorities. And yes, that includes being mindful of the stress digital change can bring! We guide you through it step-by-step.

If your business needs a digital refresh, or if you want to make your website more user-friendly and inclusive, we’re here to help—no jargon, no pressure, just friendly advice and professional support.

Looking After Each Other, Online and Offline

Mental Health Awareness Week is a great reminder to check in with yourself and those around you. Whether it’s stepping away from your screen for a breather, or redesigning your digital tools to be more user-friendly, every little action counts.

Let’s work together to make the web—and the workplace—a little kinder and more human.
