  What can you do?
Positive work culture and employee support can help mitigate stress for workers, but some stressful situations are simply part of the job. While we can’t always eliminate stressors, we can build the skills needed to maintain good mental health during adversity.
Employee support organisation, Acacia Connection, calls this building resilience. Resilience is our ability
to cope; to stay productive and maintain physical and emotional wellbeing despite job pressures.
Acacia Connection supports Just Better Care Support Professionals to look after their mental health by providing tips and techniques to help boost resilience. Here are some things we have learned along the way.
Mindfulness
You’ve probably heard this word at least once in the last few years, and for good reason. Practising mindfulness helps to reduce in-the-moment stress, by centring you and calming your rushing thoughts, while also promoting several long-term benefits to your mental health.
If you are unsure where to start, try downloading a mindfulness app such as HeadSpace or Calm. These provide quick, simple mindfulness practices for beginners that you can access anywhere, anytime.
