🌻The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower recognises that globally, 1 in 6 of us live with a disability. And of those, it is estimated that up to 80% are living with a non-visible disability. 🌻It was launched in 2016, to promote disability in a positive way. 🌻The Sunflower triggers a simple question ‘How can I help you?’ to focus on the support or understanding the individual may need. *Please note; not everyone who wears a lanyard may want to share why they are wearing it. #DisabilityHistoryMonth #UKDHM

The HSE has published its latest report on work-related stress, anxiety and depression statistics. The prevalence of new and existing mental health conditions related to work seems to be declining - but it is still higher than the pre-pandemic levels. It will also take time to see if this represents a downward trend, a temporary blip, etc. Working days lost to sickness also remains above pre-pandemic levels. What is most frequently identified as a cause of work-related stress, anxiety, and depression? Workload - too much to do, in too little time, with high pressure and responsibility. Perhaps it is time to think about whether there is an easier way to do things? #wellbeing #occupationalpsychology #businesspsychology
