Mental Wellbeing

1 Hr to Change presents Mental Health Wellbeing with Construction Coach, Maria Coulter in conversation with Andy Dean.

In his webinar episode, Andy dispels myths about what mental health really is and how developing self-awareness can offer you many benefits in helping you live a happier, more fulfilling and less stressful life. Andy shares tools that will help you maintain and improve your self-awareness and inner wellbeing and talks about where to go if someone is concerned about themselves or someone that they know.

In this first introductory podcast of the 1 Hr To Change programme, Maria and Andy talk about why Andy decided to start working in mental health in the construction industry and the tools that he and his team have developed to support indivduals on their journey. Why talking about mental health can still be seen as taboo and how this results in the individual ignoring how they are feel, opting instead to self medicate with drugs or alcohol. Andy talks about how too much stress can impact your mental health, as well as simple techniques we can improve our mental health from how we react to traffic jams to living for the weekend and why we should be looking for the best out out of ourselves, instead of the most.
