Wellbeing during winter months

Our topic today is part of our wellbeing podcast series, where we dive into meaningful conversations and tackle topics that impact our daily lives. 

Elaine Hotson, our Trust Health and Wellbeing Lead, discusses Blue Monday, often considered the most depressing day of the year. Falling on the third Monday of January, Blue Monday is said to combine post-holiday blues, the cold weather, and financial stress with waning New Year's resolutions. But is it just a marketing myth? or is there some truth behind it?  Let’s face it, the first few days of January never really feel like a new start. Many of us are just getting over the festive fog, counting down to our next payday.

Thanks for listening and don't forget to come back for a new episode each Monday!
