WorkWellWith.Us
Torchbox want to ensure you're supported as a freelancer to work well.
We're working with Leapers to provide these free guides and toolkits, along with signposting to resources and communities you might find helpful.
We treat freelancers as a core part of our team, and we're committed to supporting your mental health, wellbeing and good ways of working together.
Three guides from Leapers to help you understand and take care of your mental health as an independent worker.
Understanding
Understanding why independent work can affect your wellbeing — and why that's not a personal failing.
Foundations
A practical framework for recognising the patterns that affect how you feel about your work.
Action
Concrete, tested approaches that actually work for freelancers — from daily rituals to longer-term habits.
All too common challenges freelancers face — and what you can do to navigate them.
Getting proactive helps to reduce the impact many of the challenges freelancers face, and having a plan in place can make a big difference.
