April 2024
Stress Awareness Month, observed every April since 1992, serves as a vital initiative to heighten public understanding about the widespread issue of stress. With its roots dating back over three decades, this annual campaign aims to shed light on the myriad causes of stress and, importantly, the effective ways to alleviate it. This year, the focus is on a particularly pertinent area: managing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.
Hello and welcome to Sense's special blog post commemorating Mental Health Month. This October, we pay tribute to a cause very close to our hearts - mental health. Within this special month, we also observe World Mental Health Day on the 10th of October, a day dedicated to raising awareness about mental health issues around the globe. At Sense, we firmly believe in the therapeutic benefits of massage and wellness activities for mental health, and this month, we'll delve into how these therapies can contribute to our mental well-being.
Taking Stress in Stride: How Massage Therapy Can Help This Stress Awareness Day
As we commemorate Stress Awareness Day on 2nd November 2023, it's essential to understand why this day holds such significance. With our increasingly demanding lifestyles, stress has become a near-constant companion for many. Recognising and effectively managing stress is key to maintaining our mental health and overall well-being.
Gratitude is a powerful force that brings people together and fosters a positive working environment. At Sense Massage Therapy, we understand the importance of showing appreciation to those around us. That's why we're delighted to be involved in Thank You Day, a national event dedicated to celebrating gratitude and appreciation. This year is the third annual Thank You Day and it will be held on Sunday 2nd July. In this blog, we will explore the origins of Thank You Day, the role of Sense Massage Therapy in the celebrations, and the benefits of workplace massage.
This year's Mental Health Awareness Week is from 15 to 21 May.
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the world in many ways, not least of which is office life.
One of the biggest challenges that businesses are facing right now is how to encourage their staff to return to the office. After over a year of working remotely, many employees have grown accustomed to the flexibility and convenience of working from home. Many are hesitant to give up their newfound work-life balance, the ability to avoid a stressful commute, and the comfort of their home office.
April marks Stress Awareness Month, an important time to focus on the causes and cures of stress. Stress is a normal reaction to life events, but if left unchecked, it can have a detrimental effect on our physical and mental health. Sense Massage is here to help, with our chair massage services designed to provide an oasis of calm in the workplace.
