As we kick off the new year, many of us experience a dip in mood and motivation commonly known as the January Blues. Ann will shed light on the causes, signs, and symptoms of this phenomenon, particularly in the context of demanding professional roles. She'll explore the impact of transitioning from the holiday season to the challenges of a new year, addressing the stressors that can lead to feelings of overwhelm and burnout.

Here's three key learning points that Ann will cover in today's session:

1. Identifying the January Blues:  Recognising the signs and symptoms is crucial, as they extend beyond mere fatigue and reluctance to return to work after the holidays.

2. Practical Strategies for Support: Fostering a supportive work culture to incorporating flexibility, taking breaks, and promoting access to stress management resources.

3. Building Long-term Resilience: Strategies such as ongoing training, skills development, and fostering a holistic approach to wellbeing management for sustained resilience.
