Competency 6.0

You must attend live to receive a CE point.
Telephone/audio-only does not log your attendance.

Topic Includes:

• Discover the subtleties around burnout, blues, and Depression 

• Learn how to utilize the A-L-E-C model for providing needed support and understanding.

• How do you help your colleagues who may be feeling sad, withdrawn, and hopeless?

Research shows that it is normal to feel the blues during this crisis, but when that low mood and energy begins to take control and keep you and your teams from performing normal activities, it becomes a serious issue. Successful people recognize the depression indicators and look for ways to protect the psychological health of their teams, while those who ignore these psychological health needs, will struggle to be productive, service their customers, and be competitive.
