Applied approaches to dealing with workplace stress Academy for Health Equity, Prevention and Wellbeing

Overview

Absence from work resulting from mental ill health is the most common cause of long-term sickness absence in the UK. According to the Independent, workers in the UK will spend 3,507 days at work over their lifetime. Although there are positive benefits of good work on health and wellbeing, for some people work can impact negatively on their wellbeing with work related stress, anxiety and depression accounting for 44% of work-related ill-health and 54% of lost working days.

The workshop forms part of our wider postgraduate teaching programme on prevention, population health and leadership.

This is a free workshop open to all.

This course will be delivered through the medium of English.
