DESCRIPTION:Managing individuals who may be struggling with stress\, anxiet
 y\, depression and other mental health concerns can be a difficult balancin
 g act. Your role is to manage performance and to bring out the best in your
  workforce\, but accomplishing this often requires you to express concern a

 istress and offers insights and strategies on forging supportive empathic a
 lliances within the role of manager. The session also identifies common mis
 takes managers make in responding to employees in distress and explains com
