Online Workshop: Protecting your Mental Health as a Purpose Driven/Sustainability Practitioner

 

Many thanks to Henry Majed from Mymynd from leading an Online Thursday 3rd November for forum members.

The situation:

  • Recent research has shown that employees are feeling more vulnerable and at greater risk of burnout. As a result of uncertainty and increasing demands, sustainability practitioners have been amongst the most impacted.
  • The last two years have placed sustainability issues firmly at the heart of company discussions. This amplified position has increased what for many was already a demanding, and potentially stressful, profession dealing with society’s most challenging issues. With increasing awareness of the task ahead climate anxiety is on the rise.
  • MyMynd have been looking for ways to support those tackling the sustainability agenda and help create the optimal environment of physical, emotional, and mental health. They’re committed to making MyMynd an invaluable resource to help face the unpredictable challenges we’re all facing.

In the workshop Henry unpicked what is happening in workplace, talked about the science around mental health, and offered techniques for members to use.
