This April is Stress Awareness Month.
Stress is our body’s natural response to dealing with pressure. But too much stress over a long period of time can have a negative impact on how we feel and perform at work.
Managing stress is a balancing act, balancing the demands placed on you with the resources to help you cope. When those demands outweigh your resources, you can be left feeling exhausted, anxious, and burnt out.
Help is on hand to help us combat stress, thanks to the National Wellbeing Hub.
The hub advice and resources to help with managing your own stress, as well as information on supporting colleagues with theirs.
The resources can be accessed at: https://wellbeinghub.scot/stress/
Staff can also access help and support at: https://www.lanarkshiremindmatters.scot.nhs.uk/
