As we noted in a blog in the summer, coworking has an important role to play in ensuring emotional and mental wellbeing. There are a number of ways that coworking can help mental health. Indeed, according to Allwork.com, mental health is the number one reason to try coworking.
Coworking by its very nature can have real benefits for one’s mental health:
- Being part of a community rather than working alone works far better for many people’s mental outlook
- It’s great to create a clear line between work and home that comes from stepping out of the house
- Being surrounded by productive people helps you get stuff done and have a genuine sense of achievement
- Opportunities to share your work’s highlights and low-lights are hard to come by if you work at home alone (talking to the dog doesn’t count)
- Even though you’re working on different things, there’s a shared sense of purpose in a coworking space that has an amazing effect
