Hi everyone,
I've recently been suffering from GAD and recently started a new job that I enjoy. From my visit to the GP and further referrals, I've been advised and invited to attend weekly CBT group courses to help find coping strategies and support for dealing with anxiety. The problem is that these courses start in a few weeks and take place whilst I'm at work and my new manager has recently "mutually" terminated a previous employees contract due to their mental health issues preventing them from being able to carry out their role.
The contract is very loose and would allow management to rightly dismiss an employee without any notice and I'm worried that if I asked for the time off to attend the course, I could potentially lose my job.
Has anybody got any advice for me?
Thanks
