Health Anxiety Essentials

This 1 hour workshop looks at how the current environment can cause intense feelings of anxiety regarding our health and the health of our loved ones and friends. Using evidence-based methods, it will impart skills managers and staff can use in the context of business resumption to mitigate anxiety about returning to the workplace and/or working remotely in a latent-COVID environment. By the end of this session, participants will:

• Be exposed to an accessible and evidence based introduction to anxiety and the pandemic
• Understand what to do during business resumption activities
• How to have an open conversation about concerns, actions taken to mitigate risk, and accommodate vulnerable staff members’ mental health concerns
