UCU Taking Care of Yourself Webinar- Essex University Wednesday 17 June 10:30

UCU CPD Taking Care of Yourself interactive webinar

UCU CPD has developed an interactive webinar for members that brings together the union’s advice on how to work safely in the current context. The webinar works best with members drawn from a single institution.

Online webinar

The session is called ‘Taking Care of Yourself’ and has been organised to support you during the change in working arrangements we all currently face.

The session will help you to:

• Understand why it is important to look after your health and well-being at this time
• Identify some of the challenges you face whilst working in isolation
• Develop strategies to support your mental and physical health
• Clarify the support available from UCU

How it will work:

The session will last less than 90 minutes and you will be invited to join in an email, using a link to the online platform Zoom. In order to access the session, click on the link and it will take you to the Zoom meeting. If you don’t already have Zoom downloaded, you can do this before the session to save time.

The session will be led by UCU CPD tutors, who have been facilitating face-to-face sessions for a number of years.  The online session will be interactive and participative, so you will have the chance to discuss and debate the issues with other UCU members, and to explore solutions.

You will need to find a quiet space, away from distractions (like telephone and email!), and you may prefer to use headphones for the session.
