This year, Mental Health Awareness Week (14 to 20 May 2018) is about stress and how we’re coping with it.
Feeling stressed can be part of everyday life, whether it is work related or about life at home. Being overwhelmed by stress may lead to mental health problems or make existing problems worse.
Mental Health Awareness Week 2018 is a great time to think about how we can all address the causes of work-related stress.
