Dear Members and Friends

Millions of people all over the world are working from home juggling the demands of their jobs with looking after their children and/or elderly relatives. It’s not easy and can be an added source of stress at an already very stressful time.

I’ve told my colleagues with young children I understand their performance at home will not be the same as that in the office. I also need to tell my colleagues with elderly relatives at home. It is always important for employers to support their own and their employees’ mental health especially now during this public health and economic crisis.

It is beyond disappointing that the authorities have not classified visits to mental health practitioners as essential services. I am advocating to change that in the interests of #psychologicaldefence and #psychologicalresilience.

My team has discovered very useful content to help working people at home developed by our friends at Focus on the Family Singapore. I encourage you to share this with your colleagues, bosses and friends. www.family.org.sg/covid19

You might also find the following summary of an e-book written by Dr. Russ Harris useful. Your fellow member The Conscious Zone collaborated with Dr. Harris to compile a summary of his e-book. https://bit.ly/3als8Wv

Look after yourselves.

Yours faithfully
Victor Mills
Chief Executive
