Work can have a huge impact on our mental health. 💭 💜 It can be good for our mental health, giving us a sense of purpose and self-worth, and a chance to connect with others. But it can also be a source of stress and anxiety and contribute to developing or worsening mental health problems. There are lots of things we can do to boost our mental health at work. But it shouldn’t all be on us as individuals. Our workplace should support our mental health, helping us get the mental health benefits of work while reducing the negative impact.
