Mentoring can reduce anxiety

Tech Explorist: Teaching junior colleagues can reduce anxiety. In addition, it can improve the mental health of the mentors themselves in high-pressure occupations.
The new study by the scientists at the University of Cambridge suggests that imparting knowledge and experience can also help mentors by making their jobs more rewarding.
Scientists noted, “We found that mentoring relationships provide a unique context for mentors to discuss and normalize their concerns, to share ideas for managing anxieties, and to find more meaning in their work.”
The study follows a mentoring programme that was rolled out at one of 43 territory-based police forces in England and Wales since 2013.
