Mindful life – Well at work
An opportunity to participate in research
Do you work in the public sector caring for others? Would you like to take part in a national research study offering free online courses for wellbeing? People working in the public sector, particularly those in healthcare, social care and teaching, experience high levels of stress because of the demanding nature of their work.
Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and stress reduction psychoeducation are both recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as effective wellbeing interventions for healthcare and other public sector employees.
