This Wellbeing Wednesday we’re delighted to welcome Dr Andy Cope, the UK’s first doctor of happiness. Andy’s is bestselling author of ‘The Art of Being Brilliant’. He believes too many people are counting down to the weekend and wishing their life away. He wants to remind us that life is a short and precious gift, teach us how to challenge current habits and find new ways of thinking. You’ll also hear from Lizi Stewart from Atkins and Laura Brunton from The Clear Company on how being your authentic self at work is linked to positive wellbeing.

How to become news-resilient
Most of us can relate to this: we get into bed at night to scroll through our phones and see what is happening on social media and the internet. We may think this routine helps us unwind, connects with others, distracts us, helps us catch up on the news or lets us see what the people we follow are up to. Little do we realise that this self-destructive night time activity, called doomscrolling, can become a compulsive habit that affects our health. If you’re guilty of doomscrolling, this session will help you get this habit under control.
How to spot poor mental health in a colleague
Through the many interactions you have with your colleagues, you get to know how they behave. Perhaps you've noticed changes in someone's behaviour, and you're concerned as to how they might be coping? Everyone's experience of mental health is different, so there are no hard and fast rules, however, there are certain signs that you can look out for which may be indicative of low mental wellbeing. In this session, Sean Liddell, a Mental Health First Aid Trainer helps you to recognise them.
