Stay Safe, | STRESS AWARENESS MONTH - NEW ARTICLE | APRIL IS STRESS AWARENESS MONTH: 'OUR IRREVERSIBLE JOURNEY' 'Here we find ourselves galloping through Stress Awareness month and inching ever closer to the end of the Covid restrictions here in the UK. Mental Health Foundation have reported that 74% of UK adults felt so stressed at some point in the last year often feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope. This year the focus for Stress Awareness Month is about regaining connectivity, certainty and control.' Mental Health & Wellbeing expert Dave Price discusses the feeling of anxiety felt by many about returning to 'normal', along with a technique which may help to reduce the intensity of our feelings and encourage us to establish a calm but alert state in a short article which is now available on the new Mental Health Hub. Don't forget - all of the new resources we are creating to help you support your workforce towards better mental health and wellbeing will be added to the Mental Health Hub.
