Description
This session supports our managing mental health workshop, providing a refresher of how mental health becomes compromised, the impact on life and work as well as some specific information around the anxiety caused specifically due to Covid-19 and the impact of that on the brain, wellbeing and performance.
It provides guidance on managing people and teams remotely, advice on approaching conversations around mental health and support resources to direct people to should they need it, equipping managers with the knowledge, tools and confidence to better support their people to cope with Covid-related anxiety and build their individual personal resilience, so that they can cope more effectively with modern day challenges, both at home and at work.
This workshop is designed for managers who have already attended our online Mental Health Awareness workshop or our Managing mental health workshop previously and who either 1) have team members who are struggling and do not feel confident and/or competent in supporting them, or 2) who just want to ensure that they are doing everything they can to enable their people teams and colleagues to maintain positive wellbeing.
