Are you managing your mental health?
In a recent episode of Master Plumbers Radio, Dr Izzy Smith, an endocrinology doctor, spoke about the importance of looking after your mental health. Kate Jones reports.
How to look after you
Plumbers are among Australia’s most active workers, sometimes on their feet for hours on end, others may be sitting still for hours on end quoting up jobs and getting on top of administration. On top of this comes the stress of meeting deadlines, keeping clients happy, managing staff and generally keeping ahead of the game.
