You'll find out how it can help you sleep better, feel healthier, and even deal with pain more effectively.

How to spot poor mental health in a colleague
Through the many interactions you have with your colleagues, you get to know how they behave. Perhaps you've noticed changes in someone's behaviour, and you're concerned as to how they might be coping? Everyone's experience of mental health is different, so there are no hard and fast rules, however, there are certain signs that you can look out for which may be indicative of low mental wellbeing. In this session, Sean Liddell, a Mental Health First Aid Trainer helps you to recognise them.
