2.3 LionHeart Talks... Stress in the Workplace

How many of us have had that dreaded Sunday evening feeling, where your evening is totally over-shadowed by the thought of going to work the next day? People experience stress in different ways but there’s no doubt that prolonged or extreme stress at work can have a huge impact on your physical and mental health.

LionHeart host Jo Grant is joined by ambassador Derek Carter who - one Friday the 13th - experienced such worrying symptoms that it was initially thought he’d had a heart attack. It wasn’t until a doctor asked him, ‘do you think you are stressed?’ that the jigsaw pieces fell into place.

We talk about:

· The many different signs and symptoms of stress

· How to spot stress – and how to help yourself

· The part that employers can play in addressing sources of stress

· What helped Derek

· The support LionHeart can offer
