Recovery Wellbeing work with Victoria's Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning

Hummingly chipped in with support strategies, research and experience to co-create a wellbeing resource hub for DELWP’s staff. Jolie Wills, Hummingly’s cognitive scientist, filmed a series of videos sharing her expertise, research and key insights to give DELWP staff a boost and the tools they need to do the tough stuff well. The hub has been well received and has won two awards including the Living the Values awards.
