On Friday 03rd AMCHAM T&T held a session on Mental Health. Working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic can have an impact on your overall mental well-being. The world is experiencing an extraordinary world health emergency. The only way to flatten the curve is to stay at home and limit our contact with others. Health experts are warning that our mental health is at stake, as we keep our social distance. How do you protect your mental health while in self- isolation? What can be done by you to lessen its impact? What can companies do to assist employees in this period of unrest.
