There is often confusion between stress and pressure. Pressure can be effective for motivation; but too much pressure can lead to stress and sickness absences. This course is designed for both self-care and those working in a management or supervisor position; Understand mental health and common mental illnesses; including stress; Learn how to support your own mental health when dealing with stressful workplace situations; Discover how to support others in the workplace - both as a colleague and a manager.
Mind in West Essex supports people affected by mental ill health, predominantly across West Essex to make positive changes in their lives and to improve their emotional resilience.
We also aim to normalise the conversation around mental health and in doing so reduce the stigma that can be a barrier to people accessing the support that could help them to improve their quality of life.
We provide a range of services in order to help us deliver on these aims, these include: counselling as part of the NHS psychological therapies service; a private counselling service; Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training; emotional resilience training; peer support; befriending to reduce isolation; bereavement work and community support.
