Welcome to this month's Wellness Focus – Maintaining Healthy Relationships This month, we'll look at how to maintain healthy relationships with friends, family and colleagues. We'll also talk about financial wellness, and steering clear of addictive behaviours that could potentially add unnecessary stress. Below, we have some great resources from MensLine Australia, Plunket, The Salvation Army, myMoneyCoach, DrinkWise and more. Every resource has been carefully reviewed and handpicked by the Health & Safety team at WHT-S. |

Healthy Relationships with Others Building and maintaining healthy social connections can bring about many benefits, such as a decrease in anxiety and depression, and an increase in self-esteem. These benefits can then have a flow-on effect, resulting in a happier home life, a more fulfilling and productive work life, and the availability of a strong support system during tough times. When you prioritise your connections with others, people are more likely to want to invest in and devote more time to the relationship. In this way, social connectedness generates a positive cycle of social, emotional and physical wellbeing. Learn more...

Healthy Relationships with Money At this stage, 8.5 million Australian adults are considered to be financially illiterate (45% of the Australian adult population). People with lower financial literacy tend to have lower financial health, which then results in higher financial stress. A recent study shows that people who have experienced recent financial hardship are at much higher risk of self harm. In order to have a good relationship with money, it's important to understand how the world of finance works. Financial literacy means knowing how to make smart decisions about your money, like budgeting, investing, and saving up for big purchases such as a car or a house. It's all about being informed and making good choices based on your specific needs and lifestyle. Learn more...
