Work can be rewarding—but it can also be a source of significant stress. Deadlines, workload, and constant connectivity can affect mental health, productivity, and overall well-being.

At Granite Occupational Health, we want to remind everyone that acknowledging stress is the first step toward managing it. Simple practices like setting boundaries, taking regular breaks, seeking support, and talking openly about challenges can make a real difference.

This Stress Awareness Day, let’s commit to:
👍 Creating workplaces where mental health is prioritized
👍 Encouraging open conversations without judgment
👍 Supporting well-being initiatives for all employees

Because healthy minds lead to stronger teams, better engagement, and a thriving workplace.

World Mental Health Day takes place every year on 10 October. It’s a reminder of the importance of good mental health and the need to prioritise and invest in good mental health.

Poor mental health is not inevitable, and World Mental Health Day is an opportunity for us all to consider how, together, we can help everyone have better mental health.

We understand that addiction and mental health are deeply connected. Challenges like anxiety, depression, and isolation often accompany addiction, yet stigma can prevent people from seeking help.

On this World Mental Health Day, we reaffirm our commitment to:
✅ Raising awareness about the impact of addiction on mental health.
✅ Fostering supportive, stigma-free environments.
✅ Encouraging open, compassionate conversations about mental health and recovery.

Because mental health matters—for individuals, for workplaces, and for communities.

For counselling services, or for an onsite/remote workshop on coping with addiction, get in touch:

Preparing for World Mental Health Day – Let’s Talk About Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

As daylight hours shorten, many people experience changes in mood, energy, and motivation. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more than just “winter blues”—it is a recognized form of depression that can affect focus, productivity, and overall well-being.

Organizations and communities play a crucial role in recognizing the signs and supporting those affected. Small actions, such as flexible work practices, encouraging breaks for natural light, and fostering open conversations about mental health, can make a significant difference.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s highlight that mental health is year-round, and awareness is key. By acknowledging seasonal challenges like SAD, we can create more compassionate and resilient workplaces and communities.

💚 Mental health matters—every season.

Anxiety and depression are more common than we often realize. They can affect anyone—regardless of age, background, or circumstance—and impact work, relationships, and daily life.

We have shared a remarkable video below from the World Health Organisation (WHO). This video really captures and conveys how Depression can feel through the metaphor of the 'Black dog'.

✅ Encouraging professional help when needed

💚 Because mental health matters—and together, we can break the stigma

At its worst, depression can be a frightening, debilitating condition. Millions of people around the world live with depression. Many of these individuals an...
