Oakwood Training

Today is the 'Festival of Sleep Day', a day dedicated to the joys of sleep and relaxation. But why is sleep so important to our mental health and wellbeing? In a busy world, we do a great job of sabotaging our own success by not sleeping enough. Squeezing out more productivity at the expense of sleep is a decision that all the science says will catch up with us.

Many people find the Christmas holidays difficult, stressful and lonely. We think we should be feeling all happy and festive, but if you don't feel so merry and bright that's OK. Contrary to popular belief, it is not just those of more mature years who struggle with isolation. 1 in 5 working-age adults face daily loneliness. It can affect anyone from anywhere at any time. So what can you do to look after your own wellbeing? and how can you help others who may be struggling at this time of year? Take a look at these top tips 👇 https://lnkd.in/eXRQ_h_5 #christmas #wellbeing #loneliness #isolation #mentalhealth

Many people find the Christmas holidays difficult, stressful and lonely. We think we should be feeling all happy and festive, but if you don't feel so merry and bright that's OK. Contrary to popular belief, it is not just those of more mature years who struggle with loneliness and isolation. But what about the 1 in 5 working-age adults who face daily loneliness? or the young people who on the outside seem to have everything going on but are desperate for more meaningful relationships that give them what they want and need. How is it that in a time where we are connected like never before, so many people feel left behind, isolated and lonely? Feeling lonely for too long can cause major problems. It changes the way our brains process emotions and triggers our stress response. It's right up there with smoking and obesity in terms of impact on our health, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and anxiety. But the good news is we can do something about it and Oakwood Training Founder and Director Terry explains how... If you think someone you know might be having a tough time let them know they’re not alone by making the first move and picking up the phone or going to see them. Shame and guilt will probably stop them from ever reaching out, so the ‘You know where I am if you need me’ approach just won’t cut it. We know some groups are affected by loneliness more than others, but it doesn’t only happen to teenagers and older people. Loneliness can affect anyone from anywhere at any time. #Loneliness #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #Isolation #Christmas

It was brilliant to get some of the Oakwood team together last night for our Christmas party 🥳🎄After an amazing (and super busy) year we're taking some time off to rest and recharge. Thank you to all our clients and those who have supported us this year; it has been a pleasure working with you all and we look forward to seeing you in the new year. Take care and from the whole Oakwood team, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 😊

Just some of the fantastic companies Oakwood is working with. They understand that putting wellbeing at the heart of what they do is not only the right thing to do, it’s good for business. A ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to wellbeing and one-off initiatives just aren’t enough.
