World Mental Health Day 2022

One in four of us will experience a mental health problem throughout our lives. Whether that’s you, your parent, sibling, best friend or co-worker.

But most of us don’t get the help we need and this has to change.

At Workshop Recruitment, we wanted to raise awareness and mark the day by sharing some of the positive things that have happened to some of the team recently…

‘Securing the job here has given me a sense of purpose that I need alongside looking after my children. I am enjoying being around adults in a professional working environment rather than just being with children under the age of 3 all the time! I obviously adore my children but I definitely need to be Sophie at times too and this is definitely helping me with that’ - Sophie

‘A real moment of positivity was to learn that my son Sam got engaged to his girlfriend Rachel. Life always has lots of things to look forward to and work towards, and their wedding will be so amazing!’ - Liz

‘I’ve had a lot going on with a few very sick relatives, meaning lots of hospital visiting etc. It’s been a worrying time. But every time I get home, my black Labrador, Murphy is there to greet me. His happy face and waggy tail remind me that for him, I am the most important person and he loves me unconditionally. So, no matter how hard my day is, he’ll always be there and he’ll always make me smile.’ - Colin

‘Learning a close friend is now in remission has been such a moment of positivity. He has been so strong, so brave throughout all his treatment and getting this news was something we all celebrated.’ - Rachel

‘The opportunity to play football every weekend always gives me an opportunity to switch off from any stresses. Being part of a team, the comradery, the competition always makes me feel positive afterward, no matter the result, as well as having a beer with teammates once it is all done. It is something I always look forward to and gives me that release I sometimes need away from the day to day.’ - Pete

‘A moment of real positivity came as I recently booked a holiday to one of my bucket list destinations to look forward to this winter – I can’t wait!’ - Abbi

‘Happy 21st Birthday! the moment I realised I have written this in cards for 2 of my 3 children last week. Such a moment of positivity in realising my children are now adults. I couldn’t be prouder of their great personalities, morals and hardworking natures – things look positive for their futures and that makes me smile!’ - Kerry
