Stress Awareness Month has been held every April since 1992 to raise awareness of the causes and cures for our modern stress epidemic. It is an opportunity for everyone to focus on achieving good mental health and help to break the stigma around stress.
The past two years have been particularly challenging, highlighting the importance of self-care and supporting one another. Openly discussing stress and its effects and showing compassion to those who are feeling anxious, can help reduce stigma and create a more understanding environment.
Here at MGL Group, we’re committed to prioritising the mental wellbeing of our employees. We actively participate in campaigns like “Help Inside the Hard Hat” and share resources to ensure everyone has access to the support they need.
The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity provides a 24/7 Construction Industry Helpline which provides a range of free and confidential wellbeing support services and this is complemented by their free Construction Industry Helpline App which offers expert guidance on a huge variety of wellbeing issues.
