IABS Mental Health & Well Being Workshop

This free workshop is designed and delivered by John Broderick, counselling psychologist, in association with People Dimensions International. The workshop is opened to RIAI Architectural Graduates.

As COVID-19 restrictions continue to be extended and we face into the second year of remote working we all need to take time to manage our mental health and well-being. The Irish Architects Benevolent Society (IABS) is reaching out to Architectural Graduates who feel they would benefit from support and assistance at this time by providing free access to a specially designed two-hour workshop.

John Broderick will present several strategies designed to manage emotional overload and protect your mental health and well-being. The workshop will provide inputs and insights from psychological science on how to recognise stress, regulate your emotional states and maintain energy and focus. Utilising personal reflection, group discussions, comments, questions and answers, the workshop will provide you with a set of skills and strategies that will help you stay healthy and productive during these difficult and challenging times.
