Rates of anxiety have been rising at an alarming rate in New Zealand and the COVID-19 pandemic has only added to the toll. As WHS professionals, under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, we must look to manage mental harm and stress in the workplace. This useful webinar by author and TEDx speaker, Michael Hempseed, can aid our understanding of:

• The difference between anxiety and feeling a bit nervous
• How anxiety presents itself in physical ways such as back pain
• How to help employees who are feeling anxious about COVID-19
• The connection between anxiety and a higher rate of domestic violence
• The evidence-based strategies to help prevent anxiety.

BIO: Michael Hempseed is the author of Being A True Hero: Understanding and Preventing Suicide in Your Community. The book is being used by the New Zealand Police; Fire and Emergency NZ; GPs; Counsellors as well as many parents and teachers. Michael has an honours degree in Psychology from the University of Canterbury and in 2016 he spoke at TEDx.
