Workplace Wellness
Workplace Wellness – Taking a positive approach to a mental health strategy is not just a good HR initiative, it is an essential part of running a successful and profitable organisation. Mental Health plays a vital role in the productivity, functionality and overall wellbeing of individuals and teams.
At SOS, we work with organisations to open the conversation around mental health and to introduce staff and management to the positive benefits of taking personal responsibility for their own wellness. Our Workplace Wellness programmes help break the stigma that stops people from seeking help when they struggle.
The SOS Wellness programmes have been independently assessed by Trinity College and are endorsed by the HSE.
So whether your company has an existing workplace wellness programme, or you are just starting the journey, our team can tailor a plan to suit your organisation’s needs. We can help you build on the foundations already in place, identify any gaps and address any areas for improvement.
See below for the range of Workplace programmes that SOS can bring to your organisation.

Finding the Balance in Everyday Life
In our fast-paced and often overwhelming world, it’s easy to feel off balance and disconnected from well-being. This session helps participants understand the factors contributing to this imbalance and teaches them how to identify areas in need of attention. Through guided discussions and practical exercises, attendees will gain actionable steps and strategies to achieve greater balance and maintain their wellness.
Dealing with the Dips and the Down Days
Everyone experiences moments of feeling down or going through dips in their mental health from time to time. This thought-provoking and engaging session aims to demystify these common fluctuations. It offers practical tools that participants can use to recognise when their mood is dipping and provides valuable strategies for self-care during these low moments. By the end of the session, attendees will have a better understanding of the factors that influence their mental health and be equipped with tips and techniques to help them navigate through challenging times, fostering resilience and promoting overall well-being.
Silencing the Inner Critic
The greatest obstacle to achieving happiness and well-being often lies within ourselves. We frequently become our own harshest critics, allowing self-judgment and the fear of others’ opinions to hold us back. This workshop is designed to guide you in embracing self-acceptance and quieting that inner critic. By doing so, you’ll learn to move beyond these internal barriers, empowering you to overcome self-doubt.
