SUPPORTING LEADERS IN A TIME OF NEED
IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON MENTAL HEALTH
WEBINAR – THURSDAY 22 OCTOBER 2020
AMSRO continues to support our members through the pandemic. October is Mental Health Month* and AMSRO is pleased to present this special, one-hour free webinar which addresses the unique psychosocial risks associated with COVID-19.
In association with specialist psychological consultancy Communicorp and presented by General Manager and Principal Psychologist, Mark Oostergo, this webinar is aimed exclusively at leaders and senior managers.

- monitor and support their mental health
- maintain a social connection during physical isolation
- cope with change
- sit with fear and uncertainty.
There will be time for participants to ask direct questions and gain practical, personal experience and helpful tips.
Date: Thursday 22 October 2020
Time: 12:00 – 1:00pm (daylight saving time)
Cost: Free and exclusive to AMSRO member CEOs and 2ICs

October is Mental Health Month *This awareness month encourages all of us to think about our mental health and wellbeing, regardless of whether we may have a lived experience of mental illness or not. This month also gives us the opportunity to understand the importance of mental health in our everyday lives and encourages help-seeking behaviours when needed.
