WORK-LIFE BALANCE
In the workplace, we often hear about the importance of work-life balance, but what exactly does that mean? The term refers to having a life outside of work that is healthy and satisfying.

Work-life balance is important for everyone, but especially for those who are experiencing mental health issues. When you're struggling with depression, anxiety or other mental health issues, it's even more crucial for you to find ways to be healthy at work and at home. That's why we've created this workshop!
