Our research has revealed that two in three people in Scotland are not meeting their needs. This means that they could be at risk of stress, which can lead to mental health challenges.
Those who know our approach will know that we have 12 emotional and physical needs. These include Achievement, Emotional Connection, Sleep, Security, Control and Community; and we should aim to meet them to stay well.
What does the research say?
Our validated Emotional Needs Survey has revealed that out of 2,367 Scottish respondents, 66% felt they were not meeting their Emotional Needs.
The survey also found that 66% are not feeling rested after sleep, 61% do not feel part of a community and 51% do not feel secure.
Many respondents were employed, and our workplace can either support mental health or be a barrier to wellbeing. When needs aren’t being met, we feel stress, nature’s way of alerting us that something is wrong.
How can we move back into wellbeing?
Increasing knowledge and awareness of mental health and how to support colleagues is essential within any business or organisation.
The Mental Health Toolkit provides workplace training through practical mental health courses for staff, managers and leadership teams.
We give people the tools to help recognise and meet their physical and emotional needs, as well as support those around them.
