More of us are feeling stressed in our jobs. One in four of us will have a mental health problem this year. More of us are living longer. Our health needs are growing yet we have a shortage of carers. Rising costs are forcing living standards down. And we’re facing a loneliness epidemic.

We all need to start taking better care of one another, because we all need a little support from time to time. Even engineers.

We’re here so engineers and their families never need to face life’s challenges without support. We want engineers across the world to feel supported in all aspects of their lives and to feel that it’s OK to ask for that support. We want them to be healthy and able to stand on their own two feet. We want them to feel looked after but also empowered by their professional community.
