How to Keep Calm and Keep Going in the Pandemic – Audiotrain Webinar

4th December, 2-3pm

Ever thought that you are taking part in a three act play called ‘Pandemic’?

Currently we are in Act 2 and trying to make sense of our lives in lockdown and looking forward to Act 3 which will hopefully lead to a more normal, sociable, productive and imaginative working life.

Naomi Harvey, from Team Human, examines what we are facing and explores how we can keep mentally and creatively well. Using her experience as a creative producer and running mental health awareness courses, she presents a pre-Christmas webinar with ideas and strategies to maintain our resilience during these challenging times.

We will also be running a networking event via zoom after the webinar for anyone who would like to join in. Let’s share ideas and knowledge.
