The blog is called Mental Health Cop.
The award is by Mind (mental health charity).

Be wary of promotion!
According to a BBC News (Health) article earlier this week, getting promoted at work may be bad for a person's mental health.
More details:
- after promotion the quality of an individual's mental health deteriorated by 10 per cent on average.
- being given extra responsibility could lead to more stress, anxiety and depression.
- problems could be exacerbated by workers who were promoted having less time to access health services.
The research on which the article is based is said to contradict previous research in this area that suggests a person's job status directly results in better health.
See Promotion 'bad for mental health' for more details.
