About

Foothold, The Institution of Engineering and Technology Benevolent Fund (previously known as "IET Connect" and just "the IET Benevolent Fund" before that) exists to ensure that no engineer or their family has to face life’s challenges alone. If you’re struggling with money, mental health, care needs, legal issues or your working life, we may be able to support you.

This short presentation will provide an overview of the different free support services Foothold offers your members. From our Mental Health Check-In Tool, to our Neurodiversity support, what is our Wellbeing Hub and, of course, all about our monthly webinars.

Rachael Roberts of Foothold will be presenting about these free resources that you have available to you, signposting you to more support, and taking questions at the end.

In the future, we hope to hold more of these informative webinars on specific topics, so any steer you can give as our membership on topics of interest would be welcomed.
