Supporting Your Team’s Mental Health
Mental health is an important issue for all employees and as employers, it’s vital that we take steps to ensure our employees are getting the support they need. Stress and overwhelm can all impact a person’s mental health and in the workplace this can result in absences and resignations.
Making mental health a priority, making sure the workplace is a safe place to discuss mental health and creating an environment that is conducive to maintaining good mental health will provide employees with the support and tools needed to manage mental health.

Inclusive Sport: Mental health and wellbeing in sport and physical activity
It has long been known that taking part in sport and physical activity can have a profound and positive impact on mental wellbeing. Being physically active can improve mood, decrease the chance of depression and anxiety and lead to a better and more balanced lifestyle.
Emerging evidence suggests that competitive sport can also paradoxically contribute to poor mental health and lead to adverse impacts on athletes’ psychological health.
At the Tokyo Olympic Games Simone Biles joined a number of athletes who openly talked about their mental health struggles:‘I feel like that’s all been going really well but then whenever you get in a high-stress situation you kind of freak out. You don’t really know how to handle all of those emotions, especially being at the Olympic Games.’

The Importance of Emotional Agility for Workplace Wellbeing – World Mental Health Day
Over the past two years, our workspaces have been impacted by dramatic change.

Failure to process these responses significantly damages our wellbeing and productivity, causing burnout and lack of resilience.
