Stress, burnout and alcohol: the quiet coping strategy (free webinar)

Stress and burnout don’t always show up in obvious ways. For some people, alcohol can become a quiet coping strategy – used to unwind, manage pressure or get through demanding days. Over time, this can affect health, relationships, decision-making and performance, often without being recognised at work.

Join James Clark, Alcohol and Drug Awareness Trainer, alongside Dr Judith Bird, Head of Mental Health Services, for this thoughtful and practical session exploring the link between stress, burnout and alcohol use, and how workplaces can respond with understanding, awareness and effective support.

In this session, we’ll explore:

  • How stress and burnout can quietly influence drinking habits at work and at home

  • Why high-pressure roles and leadership positions can carry a higher, often hidden risk

  • The difference between social drinking and alcohol being used as a coping strategy

  • Early signs managers and colleagues might notice, without jumping to conclusions

  • How workplace culture, expectations and workload can unintentionally contribute to the problem

  • Practical ways employers can support healthier coping strategies and start better conversations

The session will provide practical guidance and real-world insights to help organisations create safer, more supportive environments and address alcohol-related risks with confidence and care.
