NeftTi Director of Programming Corby Furrow and I share a new video where we teach the very basics of Conscious EFT™ .Just the basics. Simple, straightforward. Not a lot of words.
I was inspired to ask Corby to record this with me after reading an article in today’s Toronto Star, Focusing on mental health brings some humanity to HR. It is an interview with Stephen Liptrap, CEO of LifeWorks, a human resources company that specializes in family and employee assistance plans. His firm tracks mental health as part of its business.
In his interview he talks about the history of mental health in human resources, from three decades ago when it wasn’t there at all to two decades ago where it showed up around people who were absent from work or who had drug or alcohol addiction and where the focus was on ‘getting them back to work’.
He believes that the human resources field will be dealing with COVID implications for at least the next decade. Mr. Liptrap also gives us some research of how workplace mental health has changed from March 2020 to now. He cites evidence from the Mental Health Index, a tool his firm created about 3 years pre-pandemic to track the mental health of society.
Pretty much every month since COVID started it shows an increase in anxiety and depression. In a startling revelation, pre COVID, the index was at 7% of society experiencing mental health symptoms. It is currently showing 50%. His words emphasized for me again that society needs EFT more than ever; a simple, low cost, readily available, no equipment needed technique that is proven to lower psychological and physiological symptoms of stress.
Hence the new video Corby and I made today. Simple, friendly, easy to understand, no big long explanations. Just an appeal to people to bring this self-care into their lives and to teach friends and family so that we may all benefit as a society.
You never know who might need this tool right now. Please share!
