British Safety Council New Videos Help Workers Beat Stress And Keep The Mind Healthy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ahead of\u00a0Mental Health Awareness Week<\/a> (13 \u2013 19 May), it is still true to say that mental health is considered the poor relation of physical health. Too many people are suffering in silence while at work. The British Safety Council is urging employers to make changes in the workplace that address mental wellbeing and is offering employees practical tools to help them deal with stress and anxiety at work.<\/p>\n

The charity is launching three videos to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week. They are based on tried-and-tested wellbeing techniques and exercises that encourage staff to relax in order to alleviate racing thoughts associated with stress and anxiety. They also encourage physical activity at work.<\/p>\n

Matthew Holder, Head of Campaigns at the British Safety Council, said: \u201cEmotional resilience is important because it improves effectiveness at work. However, it also helps people gain greater immunity from certain illnesses. By making these exercises part of their daily routine, employees should be able to improve their wellbeing and resilience to stress.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
