May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Make time this month to do a self-check in, and visit the resources available to you through your VPAP benefits. A larger stressor for most is that fact that time is finite and many of us feel at its mercy. Join TELUS Health for the VPAP specific webinar, "Making Time Work For You."
Most of us are often under some kind of pressure to produce results; however, it may feel as though the day is not long enough to be able to meet all of our commitments and deadlines. This seminar will teach participants that they cannot control time but can control their actions and priorities. By understanding and applying the principles of personal management around time, they'll be able to transform an overwhelming day into a productive and satisfying one.
