HBAA’s upcoming webinar will focus on managing mental health and sustaining positive wellbeing during this crisis and beyond.
The ‘managing your mental health and sustaining positive wellbeing now and beyond Covid-19' webinar, which forms part of HBAA’s initiatives to support its members, will take place on Thursday 23 April at 2pm BST.
Moderated by Eventwell founder, Helen Moon, the webinar will address questions including, what do we need to do to sustain good mental health? How should we manage Zoom fatigue? What are the biggest risks to mental health when lockdown ends? How can we prepare mentally despite the uncertainty? Will the pressure in businesses to make up for the lost time in Q3 and Q4 add to the stress?
“As we are engaging with more digital communications and coupled with the uncertainty of our industry norm, post COVID-19, this is all creating even further unexpected stressful experiences,” Moon said.
“We need to ensure that we listen to ourselves, reach for guidance and protect our Mental Health for now and in the future – however, this is shaped.”
Moon will be joined by a panel of industry professionals, including Leigh Cowlishaw, HBAA board member, Alex La Via of Live More Offline; Gavin Percy of Balancing Edges and Mark Maher of Boulevard Events and chair of Eventwell.
“It’s a pleasure to be collaborating with HBAA on this crucial issue,” Alex La Via said.
“It’s very important to have these conversations about how we can support wellbeing now and after we come out of lockdown and understand the role our digital habits play in caring for wellbeing,” she added.
