Mental Wealth for Team Success at NHS
On 12th Nov 2024, the NHS hosted a highly successful Team Away Day which included a Mental Health Session, attended by over 40 participants, all eager to learn strategies for managing stress in both personal and professional settings. The workshop, held at Salesforce Tower, aimed to equip the NHS Informatics Team with knowledge and practical tools to reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
The session, led by Eddy Quah, covered various techniques including mindfulness, relaxation exercises, and cognitive-behavioral strategies. Participants were guided through practical exercises designed to help them recognize stress triggers and adopt healthier coping mechanisms.
A central theme of the workshop was Personal Resilience. Eddy helped attendees deepen their understanding of how the heart, mind, and body respond during stressful and chaotic moments. The session also introduced practical tools and techniques designed to regain control, reduce stress, enhance resilience, and maintain a more balanced state of well-being.
