MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT

Mental health over the holidays

There’s no doubt the pandemic has been a challenging time for us.

As we approach the end of the year, many of us are eager to celebrate precious moments with our loved ones. However, things may not return to how they were before. Here are three tips to help you thrive, whatever the occasion: • Don’t compare things to previous years. Much has happened in the last two years, so it helps to adjust our expectations accordingly. Focus on what you can celebrate, not what you can’t.

• Re-examine what you’ll ask of yourself. Aim to be as kind and understanding to yourself as you would a child or best friend. • Find new ways to celebrate. We talk about new ways of working but now is an excellent opportunity to find new ways of celebrating. This could be an excellent chance to reconsider what is important to us and start new, meaningful traditions. Don’t forget our Employee Assistance Program is available to support you and your family. To find their contact number, visit the Health and Wellbeing section for your country via My HR or speak to your manager or line HR.
