These sessions often result in the employee feeling empowered by what they can do for themselves. Just one session may be all it takes!
One to one meetings are proving to be a great starting point for many of our clients whose employees are beginning to experience stress, and its related health problems. Some people find it difficult to approach their manager, or HR with sensitive issues concerning their health. Often departments themselves find it just as difficult, not knowing what to recommend or which direction to point people in.
There is so much information, so many therapies and huge amounts of help and resources available nowadays. With so much choice it's very difficult to know where to start.
Relaxing Alternatives can help. Having two members of the team who are internationally recognised "Mental Health First Aiders" means we can offer first line assistance with common mental health issues. The aims of a MHFA are:
1) To preserve life where a person may be in danger to themselves or others
2) Provide help to prevent the mental health problem developing into a more
serious state
3) To promote recovery of good mental health
4) To provide comfort to a person experiencing mental health problems
5) To raise awareness of mental health issues
6) To reduce the stigma and discrimination
We can also provide an opportunity for the individual to share their concerns and to help them find some simple, yet effective solutions to other situations or common/minor ailments that are affecting their work.
Helping people understand what choices, treatments and self help techniques are available, as well as giving details of governing bodies, practicing therapists and other information in their local area, means they can begin to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing.
