Dear Wellness Work/Life Program partner,

In light of last week’s events in Boston, April’s HR/Manager webinar “Sensitivity and Emotional Intelligence within the Workplace” scheduled for Thursday April 25, 2013 has been postponed. We will send out an email notification with the new date and time when the webinar has been rescheduled.

In its place we will be offering two webinars focused on dealing with traumatic events. The first, “Overcoming Trauma and Finding Balance Amidst Uncertainty” will be presented tomorrow, Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 12:00 PM. The second “Effects of Traumatic Events on Children and Families” will be presented Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 12:00 PM. 

The day after they are held live, both of these webinars will be available to stream at any time in the webinar library on our corporate site wellnesscorp.com. The link to that webinar library is here.

Please see below for a description of each webinar and its presenter as well as a link to register. You will also find an informational sheet focused on how managers and supervisors can help employees cope with tragedy.
