This CPD module helps managers tackle isolation, manage time, build resilience and ensure wellbeing. It includes practical tools and techniques that managers can use as part of their day-to-day management style.

Everyone can experience periods of ‘difficult to manage’ emotions, both at and outside of work. This tool was developed to help staff support themselves and provide some easy tips to remember to take in difficult situations.
