Overwhelm in the Modern World

December 2025 – Information Leaflet
In a world seemingly stuck in perpetual crisis it can feel like we’re facing an endless stream of bad news. Constant connectivity through our smart phones, digital alerts and 24/7 news broadcasting exposes us to global events at all times. And while this has its benefits it can lead to overwhelm, distress and emotional fatigue.
The CSEAS leaflet Overwhelm in the Modern World offers guidance on managing news fatigue including simple steps you can take to clear the mental fog when it gets a little too much.

Festive, not Frazzled – Philip O’Callaghan 2nd December

December 2025 – Webinar
Festive, not Frazzled with Philip O’Callaghan from the CSEAS which is taking place on 2nd December at 11am.

Christmas is coming and the goose it getting stressed. We’re supposed to be jolly and bright but the reality is that the things that can bring joy – time off work, family returning from abroad, full houses, giving and receiving gifts, over eating, socialising – can also be a source of stress. And in most cases the reality is that it can be a bit of both. It can bring moments of joy and moments of stress.

But when the balance falls on the side of stress then it’s time to take some action – reaching in to get the balance right yourself or reaching out to get someone else to help you get back on track.

This webinar focuses on pre-empting and navigating the stress of the festivities, friends and family.

Irish Hospice Foundation – Navigating Grief at Work 27th November

November 2025
Navigating Grief at Work with Amy Gibney from the Irish Hospice Foundation which is taking place on 27th November at 11am.

Grief is universal and one of the most painful things we’ll experience in our lifetime. A difficult part of grief is getting back a sense of normalcy, including the return to work after experiencing a loss, but returning to work while grieving may feel overwhelming. For some, work is a welcome distraction, but for most, the full-time work of grief can leave you feeling stressed, totally exhausted not to mention lacking motivation. This session will give insight into what grieving looks like and how we can support ourselves and others when experiencing grief.

Time for Change – How to keep going forward when the clocks go back
World Mental Health Day 2025 with Philip O’Callaghan which is taking place on 10th October at 11am.

This webinar looks at how we reflect on our wellbeing as we progress through Autumn into Winter.

It touches on how we experience and weather change and the impact of winter on our mental health. It also reminds us of our resilience as we progress through current volatility.
It affords time for reflection, being mindful of the impact of change but also to seek out strategies to protect ourselves as we move on through to the next “season”.

World Mental Health day, on October 10th, is a day to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to provide an opportunity for us to reflect on our own mental health and to support others in accessing the supports they may need in maintaining good mental health. It encourages us to create an open and safe culture to talk about mental health and advocate for others so mental health care is a reality for all.
