Great info

How do you stay mentally healthy at work? With our busy schedules, it’s easy to become stressed and overwhelmed with work and not find time for anything else. The trick is to find a balance that can boost your career or business – and your overall wellbeing.

As part of Mental Health Week we’re encouraging all Australians to take care of themselves at work. Scheduling regular walks or breaks, being able to say no when requests are unreasonable and avoiding checking your email or answering work calls out of hours, all contribute to positive mental health.
