"Work related stress is attributed to the quantity of work and multiple deadlines and ones ability to manage this. A tense, non- friendly work space can escalate the stress levels in the office and affect interpersonal relations in the office."

This was said by the WHO Representative, Dr Charles Sagoe-Moses at a UN Cares function on mental health in the workplace for UN staff in Namibia.

The event was jointly hosted by WHO Namibia and UN Cares on 20 October 2017 as part of creating awareness on mental health in the workplace.

Ms Daisy //Gamxamus and Ms Gash Emerita Malanguka, clinical psychologists at the Mental Health Unit of the Ministry of Health and Social Services made the presentation.
