Blue Monday launch for wellbeing guide for dental teams

A new guide that helps support dental team in their mental health and wellbeing launches today (18 January), known as Blue Monday and purported to be 'the most depressing day of the year'.

The guide Wellbeing Support for the Dental Team has been created for all dental team members, including students and non-clinical roles.

It outlines to dental professionals how to assess mental health and wellbeing and provides resources for self-care, including a list of the range of support organisations available.

It is commonly acknowledged that whilst dental professionals recognise the importance of mental health and wellbeing for patients, they may not always recognise or prioritise their own mental health needs.

For a variety of reasons, there has traditionally been a reluctance amongst the dental profession to speak about and seek support for their personal problems, including mental health.
