Mental Health in Times of Uncertainty

Uncertainty is a constant part of life. But when things become too unsettled—at work or at home—it can become hard to cope. This puts real strain on our mental health and affects our ability to stay focused and meet our goals.

This workshop offers practical tools for taking care of your mental health during times of change and uncertainty.

Why It’s Important to Look After Mental Health in Times of Uncertainty

As humans, we’re wired to seek certainty and to detect potential threats to our well-being. When things become uncertain, we lose that sense of safety—leading to stress. This is a normal, adaptive reaction. But in recent years, the amount of uncertainty many people have experienced has exceeded what we’re built to handle

The workplace has been especially affected by rapid change—from remote work shifts to office returns, restructuring, layoffs, and global market instability. Many of these are beyond our control.

To handle these ongoing demands and avoid the human and financial toll of chronic stress, we need to build resilience and adopt a supportive, adaptable mindset.

Mental health issues are among the leading causes of sick leave in Europe. This creates major disruption and losses for businesses—not to mention the avoidable suffering of those affected.

By supporting your team with tools for mental well-being, you boost both productivity and resilience. It’s a key step toward building a healthy and sustainable work culture.

In this practical workshop you will learn about:

  • The concept of the mental health continuum and how to use it to support their mental health
  • How to develop and apply a supportive mindset when facing difficulties.
  • How to direct our attention away from worrying to problem-solving.
  • The importance of understanding our body’s natural stress cycle.
  • Factors supportive/detrimental to our mental health
  • They will have an opportunity to individually reflect on how various situations in their life impact their mental health.
  • A short exercise to relieve stress
  • Mental Health Resources
