Emotional Wellness

Your wellbeing

Need help with your emotional wellbeing or mental health?

Paying attention to our well-being and mental health has never been more important.

Your mental wellbeing is about how you’re feeling right now, and how well you can cope with daily life. Our wellbeing can change from moment to moment, day to day, or month to month.

Sometimes it changes because of things that happen to us and sometimes it changes for no reason at all. It can affect the way we feel about ourselves and others, and about the things we face in our lives.

See below for suggested resources to support your emotional well-being’

And don’t forget you can also talk to your line manager, colleagues or call the Mindful Employer helpline.
