Our lives have all changed dramatically over the last 2
months. In times like this, it’s natural to feel more anxious or
stressed.
So, this year’s World Mental Health Awareness Week is even more
important than ever.
We will once again be sharing lots of resources this week to help
you look after your mental health or to give you support if you
are struggling.
We will also be sharing some of our employees’ thoughts and top
tips for their mental health during these strange times.
The theme for this year’s event is kindness. We’ll be sharing
some of our employees’ thoughts on this, as well as continuing to
share some of the extraordinary examples of kindness our
employees have been demonstrating through their volunteering.
Sellafield Ltd’s Chief Nuclear Officer and mental health sponsor,
Euan Hutton said:
We are once again supporting Mental Health Awareness Week. It
is a great opportunity to remind everyone of the need to look
after their mental health. This has always been important and
has always been a message I’ve shared, but it’s even more
critical now.
No matter how resilient any of us is, the huge changes we’ve
seen to our lives, are bound to have an impact on our health –
both mental and physical.
As always, one of the best mental health tips is to speak to
someone about your mental health, especially if you are not
feeling as you normally do.
In fact, I would urge everyone to take the time this week to
have a conversation with someone about their mental health. Why
not give a team mate or friend a call for a chat? Especially if
you’ve not been in touch as much as normal.
