Case study

I suffered a 'breakdown' three years ago, which was caused by stress at work and I was diagnosed with severe depression.

The Health at Work Advisor from the Better Health at Work team has principally rebuilt my confidence and given me hope. She has given practical and credible advice and support on employment issues, legal issues, benefit and support issues and helped me to reconnect with the world.

She has helped me set realistic objectives and let me set long term goals.

If you recognise the symptoms of stress I strongly recommend you to contact the Better Health at Work team for a free and confidential discussion - if I had contacted this service before the breakdown, I and my family may not have had to experience all the consequent pain, suffering and financial hardship.
