Stress Awareness Month

We know that legal problems can impact other areas of life. Many of our clients tell us they have experienced poorer health and well-being as a result of their legal problem. Our clients also tell us that the legal advice we give them helps them find a way forward and reduces their stress:

“Extremely helpful to have a knowledgeable person listen. On my own this was making me extremely unwell.”

Last week, to coincide with Stress Awareness Month, we hosted a virtual round-table discussion on the links between stress and employment, and began exploring ways in which employment rights advisers in front-line agencies could work with healthcare services to support employees suffering from stress at work.

For more information about potential projects regarding this or to feed into the conversation, please contact Rhi, our community engagement manager at community@swllc.org.
