A week dedicated to raising awareness around mental health and overall wellbeing across the property industry has been announced by conveyancing charity the Conveyancing Foundation. The awareness week will take place from 6th to 10th October 2025 to coincide with World Mental Health Day on Friday 10th October.
Wellbeing at Work will champion mental health and wellbeing in the property sector through a series of online interactive webinars, TED-style talks and practical resources designed to deliver supportive and educational experiences for conveyancers, property professionals and business leaders.
One of the highlights of the week will be a review of the result of LawCare’s Life in the Law Survey undertaken earlier this year, with the results due to be published on 1st October. The charity’s CEO Elizabeth Rimmer will lead a session exploring the output of this years’ survey and the lessons for law firms.
The week will also feature ‘fireside chats’, with a session focusing on men’s health featuring personal stories hosted by Henry Crosby of Martello, and menopause insights from women’s health campaigner Nicola Green in ‘The Truth About Menopause: Real Life, Real Feelings, Real Support’.
A post-event resource pack will be made available to help those taking part in the weeks’ events take steps to prioritise wellbeing, ‘strengthen their teams, and create workplaces where everyone feels supported.’
Jess Smith, Co-Chair of the Conveyancing Foundation, commented:
