Managing Mental Health While Working Remotely

Aid for Aid Workers Leadership Podcast

Do you ever feel like this pandemic will never end? Do you struggle to remove yourself from your work computer? Do you struggle with boundaries when you are working and living in the same place? Do you wish you could support your team better with their own mental health, but don't know how to do that remotely? If you said yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you!

My guest today Kathleen Joseph, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, provides advice based on her experience working with clients who are new to remote work, and feeling even more burdened with the restrictions of the COVID pandemic.

Some of the topics covered include:

• How to identify signs in yourself and others in terms of declining mental health
• How to maintain a reasonable schedule and avoid overworking
• How to model good behaviors in mental health for your team
• As a leader how to normalize discussions around mental health so it is not stigmatized and seen as taboo
• How wellbeing has changed since the pandemic

And more!
