Not feeling at your best? Are you feeling distressed and not sure how to recover your balance? Our overall health and wellbeing is a constant and complex combination of our physical, mental, emotional and social health factors, which in turn is influenced by many things internally and externally.
Join us for our Employee Wellbeing Forum this month for a presentation and interactive discussion about “Bringing back the balance” in your wellbeing using some practical skills for how to recover your equilibrium in the face of distress. We welcome guest speaker Dr Sika Turner, Manager of the agile Psychological Medicine (aPM) Clinics and Senior Clinical Psychologist from our Mental Health Program and Be Well team to present at the forum.
