Course description
Maintaining Mental Well-being
Mental health has been increasingly recognised as an important issue in the workplace over the last decade or so. And in the current Covid-19 situation, significant numbers of people are working from home in a climate of unprecedented crisis. So we should all be able to recognise that it is more crucial than ever that all staff have the tools and the support they need to maintain their mental well-being while they endeavour to remain professionally active and productive, and that managers have, additionally, the ability to help their colleagues and protect them from excessive stress.
This webinar session provides an opportunity for managers, and others who have staff development responsibilities, to:
- reflect on the potential and actual effects of working from home on their own mental health and that of their colleagues
- explore the potential challenges of working at home alone, and equally the difficulties that might arise when people are constantly surrounded by family members who have their own needs and demands
- discuss strategies and techniques that can help to alleviate acute stress and prevent mental ill-health
- look ahead to people's return to the workplace and discuss potential preparations and interventions that need to be put in place to facilitate that transition
