New factsheet offers help with stress management
9 November 2022
West Midlands Police Federation members are being urged to make use of factsheet published by Police Mutual as part of International Stress Awareness Week (7 to 11 November).
The factsheet features a range of suggestions and ideas aimed at helping people manage their worries and stress levels and provides advice to those who may be starting to feel overwhelmed.
West Midlands Police Federation equality lead Jon Nott said: “We do a very stressful job and often have to make split-second decisions while under extreme pressure and that can eventually take its toll on our wellbeing.
“This factsheet covers all aspects of dealing with stress and gives useful information on what to do if things start to become a bit overwhelming.
“Everyone deals with stress and pressure in their own way but this leaflet is worth reading and I think our members could find it very helpful.”
International Stress Awareness Week was created in 2018 to raise awareness about stress prevention and provides a great opportunity to take a moment to think about personal wellbeing and find out more on how to manage stress.
This year marks 24 years since the establishment of Stress Awareness Day, which is held on the first Wednesday in November each year and has been since 1998.
