We may be familiar with the debilitating impact stress can have on our mental health, but in the chronic illness community, the physical effects of stress on the body can often go unspoken about.
In this video, Communication Consultant Pippa Stacey discusses some of the causes and effects of stress on people with long-term health conditions, and five accessible tips for managing stress levels alongside engaging with meaningful work.
Here at Astriid, we match talented chronically ill employees with employment opportunities across the United Kingdom.
We work with employers to make sure that they can meet candidate's needs and help them to perform to their fullest potential. If you haven't already, sign up as a candidate, or an employer, or make a donation or visit our website.
Astriid's mission is to help people with long-term conditions find meaningful work. Founded by David Shutts OBE following his cancer diagnosis, we believe that the value of work is far more than the wages paid. Employment provides routine, a sense of normality, challenges and rewards, and when approached correctly, can also facilitate a greater sense of wellbeing.
Astriid helps bridge the gap between the Invisible Talent Pool (people who have chronic health conditions who wish to use their skills and experience in work), and the UK skills crisis.
The platform matches talented candidates with prospective employers, providing accessible work opportunities for those who are seeking them. As a charity, we also produce informational resources, develop patient communities, and advocate for more inclusivity in the workplace, in the hope of benefiting both employers and prospective employees. In this way, we hope to make the Invisible Talent Pool, Visible.
If you’re an employer hoping to benefit from a talented and diverse workforce, or a candidate looking seeking employment or work experience opportunities, we’d love to hear from you! Here’s where to find us…
