Why is workplace support needed?

MENTAL HEALTH

The economic cost of mental ill health in England is £110bn, with depression 4 times more common in people with persistent pain.

Chronic MSK PAIN

1 in 10 employees have a musculoskeletal (MSK) condition and 1 in 5 workers with back pain takes 6 months or more off work.

ARTHRITIS

1 in 6 people in the UK have arthritis, and a third of people with arthritis left work within 5 years of diagnoses.

"I found Be Mindful extremely useful. I was able to go onto it during work, which helped me a lot. I am in a better place now to when I started a month ago."

“I felt quite hopeless when starting this course, but I feel that it has given me the tools I need to live life to the full despite having this debilitating condition.”

Program Participant

"This course has helped me each and every day through a difficult time. Thanks to the steps provided it has helped me to combat my fatigue. I feel empowered and able to manage the pain so much better and feel able to complete tasks I enjoy and somehow manage the pain. I hope to return to work in the new year I will find a new 'normal'"

Pathway through Pain
Program Participant

“I was having some rough days at work due to stress. I approached my mental health first aider who suggested this course to me. Having had problems concentrating, I was a bit sceptical. I had no reason to be. I was immediately impressed at how relaxed and calm I felt. I look forward, with anticipation, to when the other [meditations] are unlocked. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that needs to destress or deal with other everyday problems.”

"Being conscious of breathing I can be more aware. It allows me to focus and carry out jobs and tasks that I was perhaps less able of doing in the past."

Be Mindful
Program Participant

"I was somewhat hesitant to give this course a try, as I felt that I had tried so many things and nothing helped. Once I got started on the course, I very quickly learned how to cope better when I experienced flare ups or was in pain. I now am conscious of how long I am sitting when I am at work, so I move around more. I have definitely noticed improvements and I now experience milder pain."

“I love these meditations. After each, I’m so relaxed and have no anxiety or depression. I have multiple sclerosis and the one for pain management works very well.”

Program Participant

“Enjoyed the whole thing, the short videos were clear and to the point, I especially liked the relaxation sessions, and will go back to these. It truly helped as a reminder that self management is key, listen to your body, try to distract yourself from emotions and pain, find what works for you and do what brings you joy, there is more to us than the condition!”

Program Participant

“Very therapeutic and calming. Helps calm me when I’m stressed or feeling down. Revives me when I feel tired.”

"I discovered this course a few days after taking time off work with stress. I had 4 weeks sick leave, and this course helped me enormously to deal with each day."

Be Mindful
Program Participant

“Pathway through Arthritis is a must for anyone living in pain with these conditions. The course is hosted by different people from different perspectives and this is very engaging. The self paced modules are great as you can pause the program whilst you embed the new learning into your day-to-day life. It’s also great as it only lets you learn a few steps at a time so you can’t do too much. I have learned great tips to take away to support my self management. I’d recommend this course to everyone”

Pathway through Arthritis
Program Participant

“Excellent, very relaxing. I have been suffering with a lot of stress at work and have been unable to get away for nearly 3 years now. This meditation [program] has really helped me escape from the stress of work.”
