National Stress Awareness Week starts 1 to 5 November 2021.
Stress can be a real enemy, both in the workplace and in the busy day-to-day life of each person. Did you know 74% of UK adults feel overwhelmed or unable to cope with the amount of stress in their lives?
Some common suggestions to help reduce stress and look after yourself:
- Sharing your feelings with family and friends
- Keeping active & eating well
- Learning to relax & doing something you enjoy
- Asking for help
- Take part in a mindfulness session - join our weekly group for free!
- Speaking to your line manager to get support, particularly if your stress is work-related. Find help on our Keeping Well Academy
