Our Story

MASS Mind and Strength Support was founded by David Spargo, a former hospitality industry professional, brand ambassador, events coordinator, and co-owner of a brewery in London. He noticed a lack of education and training around developing psychologically safe and healthy workplaces in the industries he worked in. Drawing on social work practices, we began implementing prevention and intervention initiatives for hospitality staff with mental health difficulties. It is our aim is to enhance psychological safety in workplaces and communities through prevention, intervention, education, and consultancy. Our team has led mental health proposals, risk assessments, workplace strategies, crisis response planning, and supported organizational change across some of the largest charities and councils in Australia and the United Kingdom.
