MENTAL HEALTH IN PR
Mental health in PR: therapy, coaching and training
I have created a number of trainings designed for the PR industry.
From the very moment I discovered PR, I loved it. It brought together people skills, writing ability and out of the box thinking. However, PR is also a very demanding occupation, especially today. We are at the beck and behest of clients. Those same clients can change their minds, and cut budgets. We have to manage those relationships alongside writing in different voices, keeping up with our area or industry of expertise, and perhaps selling ourselves and our agencies to new clients. On top of all of this, we must be continuously plugged in at a time when every mental health expert is telling us to step away from our phones and social media for our emotional wellbeing.
It’s no wonder that at times we can lose our ability to focus, stay emotionally grounded and remain creative. Mental health issues are high within the PR industry. I have created a number of workshops designed to help promote mental wellbeing, increase productivity and creativity, and bond teams.
Please browse our selection of workshops, and book a call to chat through options, including your own bespoke workshop, or a regular workshop slot. All workshops can be delivered online or in person, and can be tailored to one hour or half a day slots.

Make Decision-Making Easier
Goal addressed: productivity, team working; leadership.
Decision-making is something that can put the strongest of us into a dither.
In today’s fast paced world, we have so many small decisions to make, right down to what type of coffee we want. It’s no wonder we have little energy or thinking space left for the big, important decisions.
It’s also easy to fall into the trap of always approaching our decision making in the same way when there could be far better ways to tackle whatever you’re dealing with.

About Scarlet Thinking

Why work with me?
Stress and burnout can be particularly problematic for a PR company. Those in PR have a high level of transferable skills which means it’s easy to move onto another job or even career. Addressing mental health before it becomes an issue reduces the likelihood of this happening, as well as improving team morale and reducing sick days.
