Mental Health Programme
At world of Venuz we focus on the mental wellbeing of people if not equally, a little bit more than the physical wellbeing. This ethos is practised due to the information that we have gathered via numerous researches carried out by leading academic institutions globally as well as researches and other programmes run by many leading organisations and individuals advocating for mental health.
Our founder- Dr Bindunie Rowland being a mindfulness and meditation practitioner for over 30 years, has been working with such research programmes extensively and globally. This experience let her to advocate for mental health and mental wellbeing of people in a major scale. She is conducting an evidence based practise on mental wellness based on the fact that by training the mind and boosting the mental health can massively contribute towards the physical health of people.
To advocate for the growing numbers of mental health issues in the society we run a number of programmes.
- Raising awareness on Body dysmorphia
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD or Body Dysmorphia) is a mental health condition in which the sufferer spends a lot of time worrying about ‘flaws’ in their appearance that are unnoticeable to others.
People of any age can have BDD, but it’s most common in teenagers and young adults. BDD can seriously affect one’s daily life, work, social life and relationships. BDD can also lead to depression, self-harm and even thoughts of suicide.
Dr Rowland is particularly interested in advocating for young age groups such as she believes in the grass root level approach to any resolutions. Through her cosmetic practise she has come across a shockingly large number of body dysmorphic cases in this age group increasing rapidly over the last few years.
We offer free education and awareness programmes for schools and for any community and not just stopping at talking about it, we run a few programmes to help and deal with it through life coaching and mindfulness practise.
- Mental Health at Work
Common mental health problems and stress can exist independently. For example, people can have work–related stress and physical changes such as high blood pressure, without experiencing anxiety and depression. They can also have anxiety and depression without experiencing stress.
- In 2018/19 stress, depression or anxiety accounted for 44% of all work-related ill health cases and 54% of all working days lost due to ill health.

At Venuz we believe in Mindfulness training to be the key solution to work place stress. Research has shown that, bringing mindfulness to the workplace has the potential to decrease people’s stress and anxiety through heightened awareness, which in turn leads to improved performance. Also, perhaps most importantly from a leadership perspective, mindfulness encourages engagement. Being fully present as a leader— and allowing your team to be fully in the moment — will reap rewards both personally and professionally.
- Mental Health Awareness for Sport and Physical Activity
Sports performance has been a hot topic in the past few decades and many studies have been done on factors that affect sports performance. Everything from diet to training methods has been studied. Perhaps one of the most important aspects of sports performance is the athlete’s ability to train the mind to put themselves in the best situation to compete. This can come in many different forms. Mindfulness and meditation are the main focus. Many different theories have been studied. It is important to train the mind just as you would train the body. Using mindfulness techniques have been shown to increase athletic ability and focus. This review of literature will examine at how mindfulness techniques have been used to increase performance and the athletes ability to cope with inner and external stimuli to increase the competitive edge.
