April is stress awareness month. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), in 2015/16, 488,000 people in the UK reported work-related stress at a level they believed was making them ill. That's 40% of all work-related illness.
"In life, there’s always a solution to a problem," says Professor Cary Cooper, an occupational health expert at the University of Lancaster on the NHS choices website. "Not taking control of the situation and doing nothing will only make your problems worse."
He says the keys to good stress management are building emotional strength, being in control of your situation, having a good social network and adopting a positive outlook.
