WORK-RELATED STRESS

We will all experience stress at some point in our lives, for a number of different reasons. In small doses, stress can be a motivator – but it can also be unpleasant. When stress builds, it can be overwhelming. Over time it can prevent a person from carrying out everyday tasks, affecting both mental and physical health.

The smallest thing may cause you stress and, when a variety of factors build up, that is when it can have a negative effect on your well-being. Work, school, family and relationships, money and moving house are all considered common stressful situations. In small doses, these stressors can be managed, but when the pressure builds, it can be incredibly difficult to cope.
