Health and Wellbeing

It’s important to invest time in staying both mentally and physically fit.

As we work our way through various challenges and build up to vintage, this is a good time to do just this.

We recently ran a Go You! webinar with registered psychologist, Wanda Douglas, who explained  what's happening when we're stressed and under pressure, ways to manage this and how we can always be working on our mental fitness.

Watch the Go You! webinar HERE.

We also covered how to use the Mental Health Continuum and how to check in on yourself and those around you. 

Staying mentally fit helps us become more robust, more productive, more positive and better prepared for life’s ups and downs. 

Our mental and physical health are very much interlinked. They can also fluctuate so it is important to recognise the signs of being unwell and reach out sooner rather than later. This can sometimes feel uncomfortable so the more we destigmatise talking about mental health the easier and better it becomes for everyone.

Download our POSTERS, Staying Mentally Fit and Reach Out for your staff notice boards with tips and links to resources.

A great way to recognise the signs and help talk about your current mental health is using the Mental Health Continuum (originally developed by the Canadian Mental Health Foundation).

Let’s all learn these colours, so we can help ourselves and each other by talking in green, yellow, orange and red, as well as take appropriate action according to our fitness level. Download a version below.
