Information and resources in support of mental health and stress awareness months


Ever wondered why some teams surf the waves of workplace pressure while others feel like they're drowning in stress?

Learn how your organisation can handle stress and support mental health. Surf your way through our resources, take a deep -dive into our workshops, and let's make workplace wellness your team's new superpower - you might even learn how turn your pyjama bottoms into a buoyancy aid!

Welcome to your double-dose of workplace wellbeing as we tackle both Stress Awareness Month (April) and Mental Health Awareness Month (May) - all in one place.

Why mental health matters at work

Wondering why workplace mental health should be more than just a tick-box exercise? Our CEO and Head of Happiness, Stephanie Davies, cuts through the corporate jargon to share why taking care of our mental wellbeing at work isn't just nice to have – it's as crucial as your WiFi connection and twice as empowering.

Here's the thing about stress - it's like your office coffee machine. When it's working just right, it gives you that perfect boost to tackle challenges head-on. But when it goes into overdrive? Well, that's when things get a little - or a lot - jittery. 

Let's get real about workplace wellness: 

  • That "I'm so swamped!" feeling spreading through your team faster than office gossip? We'll show you how to turn it around. 
  • Those moments when everyone's "up against it"? We've got practical tools to flip the script. 
  • The constant "everything's gone bonkers" chorus? Time to change the tune. 

This isn't just another "breathe deeply and hope for the best" resource page – they bring us out in a nasty rash. Instead, we've packed it with game-changing insights, practical tools, and yes, even a few laughs (because who said managing stress can't be enjoyable?). 

Our resources are perfect for: 

  • Leaders who want their teams to thrive, not just survive 
  • Managers looking to create a more resilient workplace culture 
  • Anyone who's tired of stress being their organisation's most reliable team member 

Why Laughology? Because we believe in making workplace wellbeing accessible, actionable, and actually enjoyable. Our approach combines solid science with real-world solutions - and throws in a dash of humour because, let's face it, sometimes the best stress-buster is a good laugh. 

Ready to transform how your organisation handles stress and supports mental health? Dive into our resources, discover our workshops, and let's make workplace wellness your team's new superpower

For Managers:


5 Practical Hacks for a Supportive Team Environment

1. Model Calm and Positivity

Show that managing stress is normal. Laughology Hack: Start team meetings with “One thing I did to reset this week”—sharing normalises stress management.

2. Encourage Open Conversations

Make wellbeing chats part of the culture. Laughology Hack: Kick off meetings with a quick wellbeing check-in using emojis or GIFs in the team chat.

3. Set Clear Goals

Prevent stress by ensuring everyone knows what matters most. Laughology Hack: At the start of the week, get each team member to share their top priority in five words or less.

4. Promote Breaks and Recovery

Encourage proper rest with a fun incentive. Laughology Hack: Create a Break Wall where team members post their 15-minute recharge activity—reward the most creative!

5. Provide Resources and Training

Equip teams with practical tools. Laughology Hack: Introduce ‘Fck it bucket Fridays’*—each week, take 5 minutes to talk through a frustration and decide what parts you can control and what goes in the bucket.

For Individuals:


5 Practical Hacks for a Supportive Team Environment

1. Recognise Your Triggers

Catch it, name it, reframe it. Laughology Hack: When you feel stressed, write down the trigger and ask, “What would a good friend say to me right now?”

2. Reframe Stress Positively

Stress means you care—use it to fuel you. Laughology Hack: Before a big task, say out loud, “This challenge will help me grow!” (Your brain listens to your words!)

3. Start Small with Tiny Habits

Small changes = big impact. Laughology Hack: Link a stress-busting habit to something you already do—e.g., stand up and stretch every time you hit ‘send’ on an email.

4. Stay Connected with Others

People = instant mood boosters. Laughology Hack: Set a ‘connection challenge’—message or call one person daily just to say hello, no agenda.

5. Write it Down

Unload your mind to ease stress. Laughology Hack: Before bed, do a brain dump—write three things worrying you and one tiny action you can take tomorrow.
