We all have a brain, and we’re all on the mental health continuum. And stress is what tips us over the edge and causes us to experience periods of mental ill health – one in four of us will have a spell of mild/moderate mental ill health in any given year. If we can avoid stress, we can prevent mental ill health.
This brief introduction to the model Suffolk Mind uses for its workplace wellbeing training provides you with fascinating insights into the causes of stress and mental ill health.
While just a snapshot of a 3.5hr piece of training, you will discover more about our emotional needs, and the innate resources we have to get them met – enabling you to help yourself and the people around you to stay well.
