Stress Awareness Month April
The theme for Stress Awareness Month 2021 is ‘Regaining Connectivity, Certainty and Control’.
A recent study on stress identified that 65% of people in the UK have felt more stressed since the COVID-19 restrictions began in March 2020. The three key causes for concern are feelings of disconnection, uncertainty, and a worrying loss of control.
Connect with your teams and colleagues about stress at work, focusing on providing certainty and giving back control.
To help you start the conversation we have created some resources for you to use.
You are free to use these resources as you deem appropriate but we have suggested some uses in the descriptions below. If there is anything else you need or if you have any queries, please email [email protected].
