Workplace Resilience: Behavioral Health Strategies during Reconstruction and Recovery from COVID-19
Please join us on Thursday May 27 for the presentation, "Workplace Resilience: Behavioral Health Strategies during Reconstruction and Recovery from COVID" with Dr. Tona McGuire of the Behavioral Health Strike Team.
- The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our personal and professional lives in many ways that we may not recognize.
- A resilient workforce during these challenging times is more meaningful than ever. Leaders and team members alike have unique opportunities to help others navigate their experiences while also taking care of themselves.
What this presentation covers:
- Experiences and symptoms that are unique to the current phase of the disaster response and recovery cycle as well as effective ways of promoting resilience.
- Strategies that include working differently (and not harder), and simple ways to reduce burnout and compassion fatigue will also be provided.
- Special emphases will be given to communication techniques, interactional styles, and strengths-based recovery from the pandemic.
- Management of fear and anxiety related to unknowns associated with the ‘new normal’.
