Managing Stress and Mental Health Risks at work: Tools for Practitioners

In this webinar, VRA Trustee and Business Psychologist, Alan Bradshaw, discussed a methodology and demonstrated one of a set of tools he developed to help managers better manage stress and mental health risks with teams or individuals.

These tools can be used proactively to prevent stress, or reactively when managers have a concern about mental wellbeing in a team member.  Practitioners will be able to use the tool demonstrated to support their clients.
