What are you doing to tackle workplace stress?

Today is one of the 365 days of the year that has been arbitrarily linked to a particular cause or activity. No it's not national potato day or Wellington boot Wednesday, it's national stress awareness day. It must be - I mean take a look at that guy on the left, he's clearly stressed isn't he?

Not that I disagree with tackling stress of course. Particularly as PA reports that most people do nothing to counter their own stress. It's worth remembering though, as I mentioned yesterday, that your employer has responsibilities too when it comes to managing workplace stress.

Community Care has also brought together many of its articles on stress and burnout in social work which are worth taking a look at.

On a different note, scientists have found a link between childhood aggression and a difficult birth.

And a new book examines how creative activities can transform a negative mood.
