    🧠 “It’s time to prioritise Mental Health in the Workplace.” The theme for this years World Mental Health Day highlights a need that is continuously growing. With 1 in 6 people experiencing mental health problems in the workplace, and burnout being one of the most pressing issues affecting modern workplaces it’s ever more important to break the stigma, raise awareness and drive positive change. ❤️ With organisations offering free resources for bettering our mental health like Mental Health UK, World Health Organization (WHO), Action for Happiness plus more, and companies with programmes available specifically for employee wellbeing such as Health Assured, the question we ask is; are we doing the best we can for as individuals, as a company and community to thrive in our mental wellbeing? 🍄 Whilst you enjoy the resources provided by those mentioned above here are a few tips from our team on how they like to destress: ·      Putting on an upbeat song and dancing it out ·      Taking a long walk ·      Being Mindful of surroundings - focusing on the details of the little things, the leaves on a tree, the pigeons on the rooftop ·      Singing an empowering song ·      Taking a simple tea break! 💚 Remember, your mental health is a priority, be kind to your mind. #worldmentalhealthday #mentalhealth #workplace #stress #mentalhealthadvocacy
