NOT 9 To 5
COALITION
Origin
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Not 9 to 5 created this Mental Health Hospitality Coalition of leaders and organizations to unite in solidarity around wanting to provide mental wellness support for the hospitality, food and beverage industry. With millions of jobs lost across the world this year, the existing high rates of mental health crisis and substance use in the hospitality sector will only intensify to catastrophic levels if left unaddressed.
This many people suffering in silence is alarming and the potential impact is dangerous and devastating. The aim of the coalition is to unite us, avoid this work being done in silos and reach across every area of our industry and community.
