In this episode of Wellbeing at Work, a podcast by Workplace Options, a Telus Health company, VP & GM of Emerging Solutions Sarah Wood is joined by clinical psychologist Marianne Khlat to discuss the far-reaching impact of regional disruption on families across the Gulf region—and what parents, caregivers, and the support systems around them can do to make sense of their experiences, navigate uncertainty, and start rebuilding a sense of stability.

Together, they explore: 

  • the challenges facing children and their families as millions of students return to in-person learning 
  • the impact ongoing disruption has had on the wellbeing of expatriate families 
  • practical tips and resources to help parents guide their families forward after crisis 
  • the value of the EAP in helping families find stability and resilience 

As communities move forward amid continued uncertainty, the need for integrated family support will continue to grow. Listen as Sarah and Marianne share practical strategies to help families navigate what comes next.
