Today is a gentle reminder that mental health matters every day, especially for those who are finding their way back into work. Returning after a break can bring a mix of hope, uncertainty and worry, and that’s completely understandable. You don’t have to have everything sorted straight away. Taking small steps, being kind to yourself and noticing your progress, however small it may seem, are all important parts of moving forward. 

If you are feeling unsure, please know that you are not alone. Many people experience similar feelings when rebuilding confidence and re-entering the workplace. It’s okay to ask for support. You are entitled to reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010 to help you work in a way that supports your wellbeing. Work can offer purpose, connection and growth, but your wellbeing always comes first. Be gentle with yourself, and remember that progress at your own pace is still progress.
