In response to member research conducted in 2019, the ESSA Future Focus Board are launching 3 member events for early 2020 with a focus on mental health and wellbeing amongst employees within ESSA membership.

These day long work shops will be run in partnership with Stress Matters, a Mental Health First Aid approved training company, set up with a specific focus on our industry and how to combat stress and the related symptoms that come with it.

Book now for one of our 3 Mental Health Workshops 2020!!

These 3 sessions are free to attend for ESSA members and places are limited so the sooner you book your place the better. The day course will be fully catered for with plenty of opportunity for you to catch up and meet other industry professionals from within the ESSA community.

The Programme...

In this interactive workshop you will be covering what stress, mental health and wellbeing is. With the use of individual and group activities you will explore the reasons people get stressed and understand the impact on emotions.

We will investigate the symptoms of stress and observe how they affect us and others around us; before discovering your own stress management techniques that will help you become more resilient.

The second part of the day will focus on soft skills to help manage stress in the workplace. This includes practical ideas on how to be more assertive, useful time management techniques and the importance of clean sleep.

We will then finish the day learning about different approaches you can adopt to stressful situations and create a 10-point plan to improve resilience when life gets overwhelming.
