We're on a mission to boost the mental health of public sector workers! We're working together with the Public Services People Management Association (PPMA) to support one million people to better wellbeing by 2020.

At the Maria Paviour Company Ltd we’ve developed an award winning piece of software: the Care and Resilience Index (CARi®). It’s a survey which measures peoples’ levels of wellbeing and mental health across five areas (aligned to the HSE stress at work management standards), and provides them with tailored support

So far we’ve supported over 16,000 people through CARi®, across a range of both public and private sector organisations – including the NHS, local councils, law firms, and education. With CARi® 2020 Vision, we want to bring CARi® and support to even more people, and to highlight what the real issues are within the public sector: Read more

If you think your organisation would like to be involved in CARi® 2020 Vision, take a look here for more information, get in touch with PPMA or give the Maria Paviour Company team a call on 01273 934136

The Hidden Life of Trees - What They Feel, How They Communicate

by Peter Wohlleben

"Are trees social beings? How do trees live? Do they feel pain or have awareness of their surroundings?

In The Hidden Life of Trees Peter Wohlleben makes the case that the forest is a social network. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death and regeneration he has observed in his woodland.

A walk in the woods will never be the same again."
