🤔 What is Plumm? Why should I use it?

Mental health matters. While it’s at the personal and individual level, the effects of your mental health and wellbeing can be far-reaching and even impact your work life. We consider everyone’s mental health a top priority, and we wish to offer every Oyster an opportunity to work on making their lives better.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Plumm, a mental wellbeing service that helps you prioritize you. It’s a safe space for people from every background and culture to get the mental health support they need and focus on self-improvement.
