Acknowledging Your Mental Health At Work

This week is Men’s Health Week (15-21 June). It is all about promoting men’s health and wellbeing, bringing awareness of preventable health problems and encouraging early detection and treatment. Pressures balancing work and family life and worries about loved ones and their health are all currently exacerbated during the pandemic.

It is often the case that men are more reluctant than their female counterparts to seek medical assistance to deal with work-related mental health issues. Recent data shows 33 percent of Australian men list anxiety as their top personal issue, followed by 23 percent listing depression. As for workplace issues, 16 percent of Australian men put stress at the top of their list, and 10 percent listing career concerns as their number two.

Access EAP has provided some handy ways to start the conversation.

Here are 5 steps of what to do next

Take action sooner rather than later. Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today when it comes to mental health.
Seeking help is positive for your mental health. It is not a sign of weakness. Maintain social contact, keep in touch with family and friends.
Make self-care a priority. Set goals for sleep, exercise and ‘me’ time. You can’t look after those around you if you can’t look after yourself.
Remember that the best health can be achieved with looking after both your physical and mental health. See your GP for regular check ups and address health issues if and when they present.
Ask for support. Challenging life events happen to us all at some point, and no one is immune.
