Our mental health has never been so challenged as we have struggled to cope with the pandemic and we now face the prospect of emerging from it.

David will look at the best ways of maintaining our mental resilience as we attempt to return to a new ‘normal’ as 2021 progresses.

The webinar learning outcomes include:

Looking at how you can assess your own mental health and improve your own levels of personal resilience during challenging times.

How to spot the signs that a colleague may be suffering with poor mental health and then how best to start a wellbeing conversation without making them feel awkward.

The importance of using the right language to encourage honest and open conversation about wellbeing.

How to inspire our fellow employees to be more open by saying ‘it’s okay not to be okay’ and by sharing our own vulnerabilities.

We will look at how to help people transition back to the office and manage their anxieties.

The format will be an interactive, question and answer session.
