What are you planning to do (if anything) for National Stress Awareness Day on Wednesday 6 November?

Mid-Atlantic on the way to the Caribbean - hopefully very chilled and just a little tipsy!

Just as an observation, I see the BBC is carrying a story this morning claiming that "Englands mental health services are in "Crisis"".

Nothing. Stress is all in the mind. If you can't hack the job, find an easier one that you can cope with.

JJ you appear to be uninformed. Many people do not know the difference between pressure and stress. Incidentally as H&S professionals we should all be aware that there is physical stress as well as psychological stress.

JJ - there must be a lot of people who would need to find "easier" jobs. HSE estimate that >10 million working days lost per annum as result of work-related stress.

Take it easy, folks - or else plan ahead to Anger Awareness Week, starting 1st December. Where did this fashion for "awareness" days/weeks and ribbons and wrist bands of varied hue spring from? Another USA cross-over perhaps. I preferred the simpler life. Moveable feasts, Remembrance Sunday, Workers Memorial Day.
