Virtual Mental Health and Wellbeing Workshops

Virtual Mental Health and Wellbeing Workshops

As social isolation measures are put into place to minimise the spread of COVID-19, many people will find themselves working remotely.

Actively avoiding social contact can make people feel lonely and reduce our sense of belonging. We know that social distancing is an important and essential public health measure, but we also recognise this is likely to negatively impact our mental health. Added to this is our normal reaction to a pandemic – worry, insomnia and stress.

Cohesion, easily achieved in the office, is harder to achieve when your team is working remotely. We have designed virtual wellness workshops to increase the connection within your team and to address the common issues you may experience in the upcoming weeks to months.

45 minutes

Mental Health in Uncertain Times

Mental health in uncertain times

Hoarding, panic buying and constantly checking your news feed are well recognised behaviours during a pandemic. They are also an attempt to regain control during uncertain times.
