EVENT: Mental Health Awareness Week: Looking after your well-being on 14th May, Cambridge
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Week, the Rising Network brings you this interactive event on ‘Looking after your well-being’.
With competing demands that life presents, managing the various roles we play can become very challenging and overwhelming, and if you’re feeling the pressure, you’re not alone!
Are you feeling depleted, tired and exhausted?
Would you like to have better energy and to improve your sleep?
Would you like to gain a better balance in life?
If you are struggling and feeling down at work, do you try to hide it?
Do you feel able to let colleagues and/or your line manager know that you feel emotionally unwell?
Does your employer help you in any way when times are hard or do you think this is your responsibility alone?
During this interactive event share your experiences and insights in a sensitive discussion where the aim is to learn from each other and to walk away with tools and techniques to better look after yourself and those around you.
