In recognition of Time to Talk Day on February 1st 2024, Premier Partnership, in collaboration with Yellowday, announce a great free taster session aimed at fostering mental health awareness and resilience in the workplace.

This initiative aims to support individuals in managing their mental health effectively, encouraging open conversations, and providing valuable insights into coping strategies.

As part of this collaboration, a complimentary 90-minute taster session of Yellowday's comprehensive Managing Mental Health and Wellbeing course will be offered at 2.00pm on Thursday 1^st February. This session promises an insightful exploration of various elements pivotal to understanding and addressing mental health challenges.

One of the core aspects covered in this session is the exploration of stress and its management. Participants will delve into the intricacies of stress containers, offering a holistic approach to comprehending and managing stress factors. Some of the key elements encompassed within this module include:

Identifying Stress Containers:

• What is causing me stress? 
• What is my emotional signature (signs that you or others will notice if you are feeling stressed)? 
• Are the things in my container real problems or have I made them bigger through my thoughts? 
• What can I change in my stress container?  
• What can’t I change and need to accept? 
• What help do I need and who can help me? 
• Helpful coping strategies 
• Unhelpful coping strategies  

Premier Partnership and Yellowday's joint partnership for Time to Talk Day 2024 presents a unique opportunity for individuals to embark on a journey toward better mental health.
