The course teaches essential skills when dealing with loved-ones or colleagues who need emotional support. It is based on the highly-sought after in-person workshops by Dr. Derek Smyth who has been giving workshops internationally to organisations, institutions and individuals over the past 30 years as a psychotherapist and a teacher. The mission of the programme is to equip everyone with basic \u2018emotional first-aid\u2019 skills to support others in distress without becoming overwhelmed ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>With the emergence of COVID-19 this year, it has become even more important to ensure that our team are equipped with not only the right support through our employee assistance programme, Health Assured, but to also have the correct\u00a0 skills to support others both inside and outside our organisation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6288&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6302&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6287&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1603129344080{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]Construction Safety Week 2020 kicked off today with the important theme of Mental Health, Welfare and Wellbeing in Construction.
