Zurich Life & Investments and OnePath Life have launched a new toolkit offering wellbeing support to combat rising levels of mental ill health among financial advisers.

The toolkit provides guidance and co-ordinated resources to help advisers. Its creation follows feedback from the industry calling for care, understanding and coaching.

“At a time when financial advisers are providing valuable service and support to their clients to ease their emotional and financial burden, it is so important that they themselves have access to tools and support to look after their own wellbeing,” Association of Financial Advisers CEO Philip Kewin said.

The Holistic Adviser Wellbeing Toolkit is made up of the My Wellbeing Hub, a website designed for Zurich and OnePath Life customers, distribution partners and communities. CPD-accredited training modules are also available on a new on-demand financial adviser learning platform.

The toolkit offers ways to manage mental health, stress and sleep, as well as tips on nutrition and fitness, information about community organisations and links to mental health support resources.
