Wellness At Work: Tips & Strategies For Mental, Emotional, Physical and Creative Health
Advertisement
Join us at Jennymount Business Park for a relaxed and practical networking event focused on helping business owners, entrepreneurs, freelancers and professionals look after their wellbeing while managing the demands of work.
Running a business or leading a team can be rewarding, but it can also bring pressure, uncertainty and long periods of working alone.
This session will explore simple, realistic ways to support mental, emotional, physical and creative health, recognise when extra support may be needed and build habits that can help you stay well and work effectively.
Throughout the event, Maria Dowds from Staff Training, Sam from Hope Mental Wellbeing and Tina Calder from Entrepreneurs Unleashed will share practical guidance, personal insights and techniques that attendees can use straight away.
No previous knowledge is needed. You can take part in the discussion, share what has worked for you or simply listen and learn in a welcoming environment.

He will also look at mindset and how reshaping your thoughts can help reshape your behaviours and outcomes.
