Well-being Guides: A Tool to Improve Mental and Physical Health at Work and in Studies
Mental and physical well-being is essential both at work and in studies. To address this need, the Unite! Well-being expert team has developed two practical guides offering simple and effective recommendations. These guides are aimed at employees and students, helping them improve their overall health
Across Europe, the figures on psychological distress are alarming. Around half of all employees are suffering from work-related mental health issues, a trend that is also reflected among students. To raise awareness of this issue, the Unite! Well-being expert team has developed two practical well-being guides, aimed at both staff and students. These guides offer advice and resources tailored to the individual needs of each person.
The guides analyze the daily challenges faced by staff and students, providing practical actions to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Using real-life situations, the guides offer initial steps for changing certain habits and provide resources to help deepen care for overall health. Each section of the guides offers a series of tips to help people find the solutions that best suit them. Some of the key suggestions include: eating well, getting enough sleep, establishing a routine, exercising, spending time in nature, meeting up with friends, reading a book, and practicing meditation. For the Unite! expert team these are not strict rules, and the main message is to be kind to ourselves and find activities that help us feel better.
