No matter the size of your business or client base, the phrase 'Cost of Living' is used almost daily. Unprecedented fuel prices, the war in Europe and rising energy costs are just some of the everyday events impacting people's mental health. Heightened anxiety around global happenings can often trickle down into our day-to-day lives.
People may feel that their problems and emotions pale in comparison to such things, but we all have issues that are unique to us and our situation at work or home. The key is recognising that such feelings are valid or knowing what signs to look out for in a friend, family member or colleague who may be struggling in silence.
Mental and physical wellbeing can often be closely linked, and sometimes people may find it easier to open up about a problem with a professional, that in turn begins to improve their physical wellbeing too. It's why ARAG offers a counselling helpline service through our partner, Vita Health.
Qualified counsellors will provide free, confidential support and advice by phone to you or your family members who are dealing with an emotional upset, feeling worried or anxious about a personal or work-related problem.
