Wellbeing special: Lockdown anxiety

In the first of a mini-series of wellbeing specials, our host Jonny Monkhouse talks about lockdown anxiety with Heather Buckridge, clinical consultant at Aviva, and Brittani Lee, one of our amazing customer advisors. On Monday, 19 July it was “Freedom Day” in England. It was a day of celebration for some, but for others it was a major cause of anxiety. Recorded at the beginning of July, in this episode Brittani shares her own experience with anxiety and Heather shares some helpful tips and advice on how to deal with it. If you’re experiencing anxiety or otherwise struggling with your own mental health, then there are resources available: NHS mental health services: https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/nhs-voluntary-charity-services/nhs-services/ Mind, the mental health charity: https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/ The Samaritans: https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/ If you’re outside the UK then please look up what other resources are available to you locally. Don’t struggle alone.
