About This Cause
We help people in many ways, for example with our confidential Advice Line and SupportBot that help with issues affecting mental wellness. Meanwhile, we give people across the industry opportunities to connect and learn with each other in our workshops, which focus on subjects including confidence, anxiety and building inclusive teams. The NABS Podcast and NABS Talks bring industry influencers and experts together to a wide audience, giving inspiration and support along with access to adland’s changemakers. While our grants and therapy referral service provide a lifeline to those who are struggling the most.
