Panel discussion: supporting young people’s mental health
Young workers aged 18 to 30 are perceived to be under almost twice as much pressure in their lives as their more senior peers. They’re more likely to be worrying about debt or struggling to pay their bills, which is likely to add to their stress. Companies can and should focus on creating a more inclusive environment and be prepared to step up and support their people.
Transform your health
In this session, Dr Ayan Panja shares life-changing insights about how we can all improve our health and wellbeing using techniques and strategies he has seen work time and time again in over two decades of clinical practice. He explais the eight key factors which affect our health the most and share the simple ways that we can start to improve them.
How to become news-resilient
Most of us can relate to this: we get into bed at night to scroll through our phones and see what is happening on social media and the internet. We may think this routine helps us unwind, connects with others, distracts us, helps us catch up on the news or lets us see what the people we follow are up to. Little do we realise that this self-destructive night time activity, called doomscrolling, can become a compulsive habit that affects our health. If you’re guilty of doomscrolling, this session will help you get this habit under control.
Choosing the right fuel to perform best at night shifts
Shift workers are prone to general health issues, digestive complaints, higher body mass and long-term conditions. Diet is key. Join us for night-time eating tips to help you stay energised, alert, and healthy.
Ask the nutritionist
Nutritionist Niamh McMahon is back to answer the outstanding questions you had during her Wellbeing Wednesday session. Here’s everything you’ve ever wanted to know about healthy eating, food myths, and more.
Shifting perceptions and shifting weight on the railway
Hear about the effect of railway shift patterns on the human body, and how we’re supporting colleagues to reach a healthier weight. Since the start of our partnership with Slimming World, we’ve lost a combined total of 2,603lbs – that’s equivalent to 378,000 tea bags!
My name is .... and I'm an alcoholic
Using drink and drugs to cope with life could happen to any of us. We’re only human. Hear from someone who’s been through it and discovered that work and recovery can go hand in hand. The session also covers revisions to the rail industry standard for testing safety critical workers for drugs and alcohol.
Nutrition for shift work
It’s well documented that shift work can lead to metabolic disorders. But there are ways to reduce your risk. This session explores what the science says and how to create healthy, satisfying food that’s easy to pack for work.
Nutrition discovery
Making even small adjustments to what we eat can influence our brain chemistry to improve our mood and ability to cope with stress. This session uncovers a wealth of fascinating science-based facts and practical steps to help you make positive change happen.
