Able Futures – Awareness of Stress

Uncategorised

Awareness of stress, and the many different affects that it can have on us, is important for us all. Our work, health problems, finances, family and relationships may all play on our minds, but sometimes these stressful things can affect our mood, our body and our relationships and we can find ourselves struggling to cope.

 

If stress is affecting how you feel, some personalised advice, information and guidance from Able Futures could help you learn to cope better with stress, and help you access support from other experts.

 

Find out more about how Able Futures can help you deal with stress

  
 

Able Futures has shared these top tips for some simple things we can try to do if we are feeling stressed:

 

  • The next time you notice you are feeling bad because of stress, pause and take a few deep breaths. It helps.

 

  • To help you cope with stress on a longer-term basis you might want to try relaxation techniques, time management tools or learn ways of thinking about things you do not have much control over.

 

  • Learning to recognise symptoms of stress – clenched teeth, headaches, low mood, an upset stomach or insomnia could all indicate stress is affecting you – and understand what causes you to feel stressed can mean you can identify opportunities to break the cycle of mental and physical responses and help you cope better.

General Secretary Ballot Opens 28th October. Use Your Vote!

Uncategorised

UNISON is holding an election to choose who will be the next General Secretary to lead the union for the next five years. The General Secretary is the most senior role in the union and is the public face of UNISON at home and abroad.

Now it’s time for UNISON members to choose the person who leads the union. All current members, including retired members, who were in membership on 28 June 2020 have the right to vote. Ballot papers will be sent to the most recent home address you have given UNISON. You are being asked to vote for the person who speaks up for you with employers and politicians; who will make the case on issues that matter to you.

The General Secretary represents UNISON – and you – when talking to the media, other unions, employers and to parliament. It is important to have your say in electing the union’s leader.

Barnet UNISON nominated Paul Holmes – here’s why:
