Motherwell FC backs stress relief campaign
MOTHERWELL FC have launched a season-long initiative to encourage supporters to stress less.
The move is part of the Scottish Government Steps for Stress campaign and urges people to take simple steps to tackle everyday stresses to help avoid more serious problems.
Manager Craig Brown said: "We know stress can affect everyone from time to time but for others it can occur more frequently, last for long periods and impact on our everyday lives.
"Let's recognise the signs of everyday stress, feel comfortable talking about it and use the advice, information and supports available to take action to help stop it in its tracks – such as being more active, talking to someone or helping other people."
The stepsforstress website offers an online assessment of stress and has a number of options that may help.
Kevin O'Neill, chairman of the Lanarkshire Mental Health Improvement Partnership Group, said: "The Steps for Stress campaign highlights that there are simple steps we can take to reduce our stress and the earlier we do this the better."
