We believe that mental wellness is just as important as physical health—especially in fast-paced corporate environments. In collaboration with Abbott Laboratories, we successfully organized a series of impactful Mental Health and Wellness Awareness Sessions for Abbott employees in Lahore, Faisalabad, and Karachi.
These sessions were designed to address key topics such as stress management, work-life balance, and nutrition for mental well-being, aiming to equip employees with practical tools for maintaining emotional resilience and overall wellness in the workplace.
Lahore Session – Luxus Grand Hotel
The Lahore event featured respected mental health and wellness professionals from Fatima Memorial Hospital, including:
-
Maryem Adnan – Psychotherapist & Mental Health Counsellor
-
Dr. Shazia Zahra – Associate Professor, Acting Associate Dean, and Director of the Nutrition Program at Fatima Memorial
-
Dr. Usama Bin Zubair – Consultant Psychiatrist & Psychotherapist, CEO of Pakistan Institute of Mental Health
These experts led an interactive dialogue on emotional health, workplace stress triggers, and sustainable ways to manage pressure in high-demand roles.
Faisalabad Session – Serena Hotels
Continuing the journey of wellness, the Faisalabad session brought together healthcare professionals from Shifa International Hospitals and other recognised institutes:
-
Dr. Tooba Obeer – Consultant Psychiatrist, Shifa International Hospitals

Dr. Arooj Rauf – Consultant Dietitian & Nutritionist, Shifa International Hospitals
