Link – Prince William launches mental health website

ByMikeM Reading Time: 1 minute

I took a quick look at the Mental Health At Work website linked in this article, and it’s impressive.

 

“Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, was set to unveil the project, Mental Health at Work, at an event in Bristol on Tuesday.”

The site is chock full of resources for employers, employees, really anyone who has questions or needs help figuring out how to deal with mental health issues. I would definitely take a look at it, and keep it handy. I could, and probably will over the next few weeks, spend hours finding resources to share.

  • Sharing – What Self-Care Really Involves

    As many of you know, we got hit by a hurricane in our area of the world last week. We were lucky compared to many, but things have not been normal, by any stretch. Lack of power, gas shortages, and curfews don’t leave a lot of room for “typical” self-care routines. It’s hard to have a spa day when all the spas are closed, after all. Self-care in that kind of situation might look more like cleaning up the storm debris, or getting sleep when you could.

    Remember, self-care is not one type of thing, as Melanie says acts of self-care are acts that help you feel better and less anxious, even if they don’t always look the same!

    Link – Mental illness: who’s faking it?

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 2 minutes

    “n recent years, awareness of mental health in the workplace has ramped up – and rightly so. An employee’s job can often be a source of mental illness or, if not the source, then an aggravator of it. So it’s great that initiatives such as RUOK Day are becoming widespread.

  • Sharing – Five tips on setting boundaries for your mental health

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 1 minute

    The other thing to keep in mind is that no one else is going to set the boundaries for you that you need. They will set the boundaries that they want for you. That includes family, friends, and employers. They won’t know the limits of your mental health, and they may not even care about them. Some will, but you still need to draw them yourself and then communicate them.

    And, maybe. most of all, allow everyone to set their boundaries and respect them. Maybe we could all get some improved mental health if we all understood that a little bit better.

  • Link – Not Enough Sleep Linked to Depression and Anxiety

    Society doesn’t value rest, it may be hurting our mental health tremendously. The researchers discovered that regular sleep disruptions are associated with difficulty in shifting one’s attention away from negative information. This may mean that inadequate sleep is part of what makes negative intrusive thoughts stick around and interfere with people’s lives, they say. https://psychcentral.com/news/2018/01/07/not-enough-sleep-linked-to-depression-and-anxiety/130871.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
