Mental Health Awareness week commences today, with the theme “Movement: Moving more for our mental health”.
Research has shown that regular physical activity can make us happier and healthier. Our bodies release feel-good hormones when we're active, which can reduce anxiety and stress and help us sleep better. By building movement into our working day, we can have a positive impact on productivity and focus.
The Mental Health Foundation offers some useful advice and provides downloadable resources about mental health as well as advice on becoming a Mental Health First Aider:
