IntroductionIn this support package, it will be explaining the importance of an individual’s early experiences and how it impacts them into adulthood and in the workplace. It also includes the early warning signs of mental stress on people and what support structures are provided by public service organisations. Additionally, it will also describe the potential benefits that early intervention can have on an individual’s mental health and wellbeing and what interventions promote healthy ways of coping.Significance of early experiences during childhoodEvery adult has gone through and experienced adulthood and their childhood has significantly impacted on their life as an adult when it comes to; personal relationships, mental health, how they see the world. One major factor of an individual’s childhood is their parent, every parent has the responsibility to give their kids opportunities and to try to give them a good childhood. Good parenting, a stableenvironment and positive exposure increases the chances of the child to become happy and successful. On the other hand, bad parenting, negative exposure and dangerous environments will cause serious problems for the child and it will last into adulthood (M. Komay, 2020).There are a variety of different ways to inflict childhood trauma, however, the main causes are; neglect, sexual/physical abuse and other forms of abuse. This can be inflicted by parents, siblings and people in positions of power and authority. As a result it can “leave physiological, psychological and emotional scare long after the abuse has subsided” (M. Komay, 2020).3

Psychology Today states that “one of the most devastating impacts of childhood trauma is the effect it has on self-image” (J. Wu, 2019). Additionally, adults who haveexperienced a significant amount of childhood trauma are more likely to develop a pattern of “victimhood” thinking. This is the state of mind that an individual is a victim.This is a very dangerous way to think because the way that people see themselves can have a great impact on their words, choices, careers, opportunities and relationships. Additionally, a child growing up in poverty also impacts their mental health. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation conducted a report in 2015 about the “Psychological perspectives on poverty” (B. Fell, M. Hewstone), the aim of the report was to research the consequences and causes of poverty. It looked into four main areas: the social processes, mental health, genes, the environment and brain cognition.Their research showed that poverty increases a variety of different psychological illnesses. The study showed that people who had a low socio-economic status (SES)were more likely to develop psychological illnesses like “schizophrenia, mood and anxiety disorders, and alcohol and substance abuse” (B. Fell, H. Hewstone, 2015).Early warning signs of mental stress on peopleDifferent people experience stress differently and some people might not be aware that they are under stress right away and in some cases individuals are under stress without recognising the signs. Stress can effect an individual emotionally, physically and their behaviour.“My head is tight and all my thoughts are whizzing around in different directions and I can’t catch them” (Mind, 2021).4
