Two-thirds of Canadians have had experience with depression or anxiety in their lifetime, most of which are 25 to 55 years old. Here’s the good news. Stress plays a major role. This means that employers can be proactive and preventive by supporting employees who are under a lot of stress and exhibiting early signs of burn out. Here’s how.
- Understand what stress is and where it’s coming from.
Being exposed to stressors is a natural part of life. We face life difficulties and pressures throughout our lifetime; work and financial pressures being the most widespread; family, health and relationship issues being the next most widesp4read.
How we perceive these stressors and the way we deal with them determines whether or not we will experience stress - a physiological, psychological and/or social reaction. The more effective our coping strategies are, the less likely we will make ourselves sick in body, mind and spirit.
