Launch of - ‘Fit For Life’…….Less
stressing, more living!
 The
BT Riverside Tower was the venue for the recent launch of a ‘self
help programme’ designed by stress & trauma coach
Catherine Mc Hugh, with support from Belfast GP, Dr Rose Mc
Cullagh. to support those whose personal or working life is
affected by stress, anxiety, depression or trauma to get their
life or career back on track, and as an alternative or additional
resource which may reduce the need for anti-depressants to
patients presenting with stress, anxiety, or depression
Catherine who is a Life & Business Coach
Trainer with the Coach Institute Of Ireland, has been working
closely with GP surgeries, business and training departments,
as well as various health and welfare organisations throughout
the province to highlight the benefits of her ‘Fit For
Life’ programme for their patients, clients, and employees,
indeed anyone involved in the welfare, care, employment or
support of people.
Speaking at the launch she said,
“ As a life and business coach, I’ve
supported countless individuals to challenge and overcome personal
or workplace stress, and begin the process of helping people
and organisations to identify and ultimately reduce unhealthy
and unproductive stress from their life/business, and support
them to create positive life change and job performance” Catherine
Mc Hugh
Also speaking was Belfast GP, Dr Rose Mc Cullagh
who said,
“The Fit For Life programme brings a new
approach to the meaning of ‘self help’ and personal
discovery. Just as we condition ourselves to be physically
fit, our mental health needs as much attention. Being aware
that we are able to take control of our emotions and learn
how to achieve positive life change, empowers the anxiety/depressed
sufferer, and is a perfect compliment to, or in some cases,
substitution for drug (anti –depressant) treatments."
The launch which was attended by health professionals,
business, and the community sector, highlighted Health & Safety
statistics which indicate that - up to 70% of GP visits are
stress orientated, that 85% of diseases are stress orientated,
and that a staggering 13.5 million working days are lost every
year due to psychological ill health at a cost to society of
7 billion per year!!
