INTRODUCTION
Health care professionals works public health services which aims at improving physical as well
as mental well being of the communities (Heenan, 2018). Health care public services includes
professionals such as physicians, nurses, therapists and other allied health service providers. The
study will cover topics on strategies which a company should adopt for the purpose of mental
well-being at the workplace for the purpose of coping with stress. Strategies used for the purpose
of resilience and role of supervision for the well-being of public. A plan will be produced in
which awareness in the mental well-being as a public service worker.
INTERVENTION
Due to busy schedules, work pressure and challenges and increasing load of public health issues,
health care professionals are facing mental disorders in which intervention plays a very
important role in coping with the mental health. Mental health plays a very important role for
better completing of the task and delivery of safe or quality care services (Barry, 2019). For
solving the issues strategies as well as policies should be adopted which will resolve the issues of
the mental health. The health professionals are feeling stressed and depressed due to which their
performance is hindering. The order to cope with this issue creating positive work environment
is must in which each employee should be motivated to work so they can focus towards the work
instead of the stress. The work management should be improved in which multiple shift should
be adopted in the work culture this will lead to reduce in the stress and the productivity in the
work will increase. If the health professionals are ready to adopt the stress then only the
employee is allowed to take the stress for the hike in the salary.
Recreational activities in between the work also plays key role in reducing the stress and should
include activities such as yoga and yoga (Tennant. and et.al., 2018). This will boost the
confidence in the work and the employees will feel less stressed and more focused towards the
work. In order to cope up with stress a proper record of the performance of the health
professionals will be maintained in which how much the employee is working on hourly basis in
a day will be recorded and how much the employees is taking breaks in between will be seen on
the basis of which the causes of stress will be calculated and accordingly steps to resolve the
issues will be taken. Mental health plays a very important role for better completing of the task.
For solving the issues strategies as well as policies should be adopted which will resolve the

issues of the mental health. The health professionals in public health services are feeling stressed
and depressed due to which their performance is hindering (Keyes, 2019). The order to cope with
this issue creating positive work environment is must in which each health professionals should
be motivated to work so they can focus towards the work instead of the stress. The work
management should be improved in which multiple shift should be adopted in the work culture
this will lead to reduce in the stress and necessary for a worker if the worker is feeling stressed
due to family issue or any other issue then the same issue must be addressed by talked to the
immediate boss. For this open communication is must between the boss and the subordinate.
STRATEGIES AND POLICY
For resolving the issues related to stress by resilience in individuals and strategies for promoting
mental well-being at workplace, the strategies used is the 4 C's in which competence, connection,
character and contribution will be followed. As per this strategy the health professionals will be
taught how to be competent at work place by making them learn soft wares and giving them
technical knowledge. This will create interest in the workers (Payton. and et.al., 2019). The
employees will be connected from one branch to other branch, which will help in sharing
experience with each other. This will lead to sharing of problems faced by employees of one
branch with the other branch, the most common issue will boost and then steps will be taken for
issue resolving. Character of the employees will be judged and if the employee is hard working
and leaves will be provided for the better performance and this will reduce the stress among the
employee and the same performance of the employee will be maintained. Contributing factor for
the stress will be seen under this by asking the employees what is the problem due to which there
is non completion of the task.
Another strategy used will be training of emotional intelligence among the employees this will
lead to controlling of emotions among the employees, due to which stress of the employees will
not be reflected at the work place (Proeschold-Bell. and et.al., 2019). For the purpose of
resilience of emergency situation of mental health of the employee will be National Health
Program, UK, in which the employee will be immediately referred to the doctor and will not be
charged with the additional charges.
Appropriate treatment will be given to the employee which will involve free ambulance facilities
and free accommodation facilities for the one who is with the patient. As per the analysis of
impact of the policies for the promotion of the mental health and emergency services well-being

it is found that the policies helps the employee to be stress free as the officials used to check the
employee and satisfaction related to job (Case. and et.al., 2019). The level of work load and level
of work done by the employee including the compensation paid to the employee is checked and
ultimately the stress level affected due to this are checked as per the national policies. There is a
low suicide rates due to stress as the employees are feeling safe that if something happen to them
they can get free treatment as per the national health policy.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Health professionals are using social media during the work and face hatred news and
comparison of social and income status are making the employees more stressed. One of the
popular social media which is causing such issues is Facebook (Herman. And et.al., 2019). There
are other limitation as well such as keeping oneself away from the society and becoming more
introvert which is making the employees think more and which is the reason for the stress. There
are benefits of the social media as well if following is done of appropriate communicate and
appropriate person who is a motivating factor then it will lead to reducing the stress and if
positive messages and positive jokes and videos are shared then it can reduce stress at much
greater extent.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPERVISION
Supervision plays a very important role in the mental well-being of the employees in which the
supervisor checks whether the employee is unable to complete the task on time or not and if not
then the reason is due to mental pressure or any other reason (Breslin. and et.al., 201). If it due to
work-related pressure then the management of the work will be done by reducing the working
hours for the purpose of increasing the output of health professionals . When I was feeling
stressed I contacted the supervisor and he managed my work in which I was allotted less work on
the day when I was feeling stressed.
IMPACT WHICH IS OF OTHER
I used to feel well when I spend time with my family for the trip for a vacation and I feel that my
stressed is gone. I used to share my bad as well as good experience with my colleagues and
friends which make my mind release the stress (Osher., Cantor. and Caverly, 2019). Me and my
friend used to play sports and keep ourself engaged in the social activities which rejuvenate us
and we work more stress free and more focused towards the work. The stress creating things

which I experienced due to impact of my friends and family is doing extra work related to home
and disputes among the friends and colleagues (Heenan, 2018). Controlling factor for the stress
will be seen which can be due to higher intake of the caffeine, Nicotine or drugs with friends
and the same will be addressed by concerning with the employees the reason for the stress. If I
am having experience in dealing with the situation and the employee is feeling stressed to deal
with the problem then the same should be addressed by increasing the confidence and this can be
done by project manager or a team leader. This will improve the involvement to the employee
and the employee will take better participation in the completion of the project or task.

PLAN FOR WELL-BEING OF PERSON
Illustration 1: Personal Plan for mental health care

It is very important to produce a mental health plan for the well-being of a worker in which all
the factors related to mental health will be covered. The plan will cover details related to amount
of physical activities performed by me after or before working (Barry, 2019). How much stress I
am taking due to psychological factors which will be calculated on the basis of behaviour of
mine due to working in a job. Emotional intelligence will be added in the plan in which I will be
getting training related to emotional intelligence which will help me in management of emotions
of mine and I will be not influence by the emotions which will help me in better performance of
the job (Keyes, 2019). Spiritual activities will be added in my plan which will include every
Saturday going to the church. This will help me in getting spiritual support which will be
necessary for the motivation. Personal activities will be enhanced of mine in which I will be
become more active socially. This will reduce stress of mine as my mind will be diverted and
also health of my mind will improve. Professionally sound results are also necessary for which I
will include activities which will make laugh the employees working in my organization.
CONCLUSION
As per the study it is concluded that stress relieving is very important for the personal as well as
professional development. It is very important for the employees to keep themselves motivated
and free from stress, this will make the employees fit. There are various factors which can make
the employee happy and the employee should keep themselves happy. Social media should be
used for spreading positive messages and negative factors of the social media should be ignored.
The employees should built positive work environment in which laughing and creative
environment should be included which keeps the employees motivated and indulging.
