Course Description:

We are in a period of significant change in how we work, including working from home and the increased use of video conferencing technology for communication.  Current research on our stress and mental health has highlighted how these stresses have affected our lives, including:

• Managing work and home-life responsibilities
• Feeling connected and engaged
• Interacting socially in the hybrid work environment

This webinar examines current research to understand the impact of our “new normal” on our stress and mental health.  We will then explore research-based tools that can help us de-stress for success.
