Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and behave.
It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at
every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

These days, relationship breakdown is something that a large number of people have to cope with. And people working in the licensed trade have the added stresses of working long, antisocial hours often combined with business and financial worries.
In today’s fast-paced world, the importance of mental health cannot be overstated. As we navigate the challenges and demands of the workplace, it’s crucial to not only look after our well-being but also to support our colleagues in their mental health journey.
The licensed hospitality industry is known for its fast-paced and demanding nature, where both employers and employees often face high levels of stress. Long hours, customer demands, and the pressure to meet targets can take a toll on mental health.
