Building Personal Resilience

Resilience enables us to cope with change, challenges, and stress. It helps us to turn stumbling blocks into steppingstones and setbacks into comebacks.

Mental Health First Aid is the help provided to someone who is developing a mental health problem, has a worsening of an existing mental health problem or is in a mental health crisis.

Raising Personal Awareness

We are often obsessed with time and get distracted by the whirlwind of daily tasks, which by the end of the workday may make us wonder what we actually achieved.

Personal effectiveness is about knowing when and where to direct efforts to achieve fruitful outcomes.

In this engaging session, you will learn how to reduce interruptions and optimise your day by using a variety of productivity hacks that can make all the difference. These techniques are easy to learn and can help you work smarter, not harder.

Date: Wednesday 17th April 2024
Time: 10:00am - 1:30pm
Delivery: In Person
