PCS Positivity Blog

April is National Stress Awareness Month. National Stress Awareness Month aims to raise awareness of the negative impact of stress. There is no single definition for stress, but the most common explanation is physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension. While not all stress is bad, long-term stress can have harmful impacts on physical and mental health.With the uncertainty of the economy, the rising costs of food, petrol and fuel costs, this is leaving many of us with anxiety and fears for the future. This blog therefore aims to support you with your mental health and wellbeing at this difficult time.

In the last few weeks it has become increasingly apparent that the pandemic we have been living through is going to last a lot longer than we originally thought. Many of us hoped that the first lockdown would ease numbers of individuals diagnosed and relieve the anxiety that we felt due to the deaths and cases of the pandemic. Unfortunately, with winter right ahead of us there is no escaping that this is going to be a difficult time for a lot of us and the impact will be greater for some more than others.

If you have to leave your house to go into work during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, it might feel like a difficult and stressful time. You may need to go into work during the coronavirus pandemic because you're on the Government's list of key workers (also known as critical workers). You as staff at PCS are known as critical workers due to the care that you give to the vulnerable individuals you care for. You may experience anxiety because of the work that you are doing during coronavirus.

As we are starting to come out of lockdown and countries introduce measures to restrict movement as part of efforts to reduce the number of people infected with COVID-19, more and more of us are making huge changes to our daily routines. The Coronavirus (COVID 19) outbreak means that unfortunately life has changed quite dramatically for a lot of us and it is going to keep changing for a while. There are some things that are simple that can help you to take care of your mental health and wellbeing at this difficult time.
