Managing Stress Within Your Team course

Mates in Mind is a leading UK charity that enables UK organisations, of any size, to improve their workforces’ mental health. They do this by providing employers with the skills, clarity and confidence to raise awareness, improve understanding and address the stigma that surrounds mental health.

This Stress Awareness Month, Mates in Mind are encouraging organisations to start vital conversations about stress at work, and to welcome an open and honest dialogue with staff.

In support of this, Mates in Mind have produced a film highlighting the devastating effects that stress in the workplace can cause. Please see Chris’ story below and for more information visit the Mates in Mind website.

TRIGGER WARNING: Please note, the following video includes mention of suicide and may be upsetting to some viewers.

To assist employers in understanding and identifying workplace stressors, Mates in Mind have also created a ‘Managing and Reducing Workplace Stress Handbook’, which is available to download for FREE via their website:
