Mental Health Awareness for Managers

Overview

There’s never been a more important time to address mental health in the workplace.  Our mental health awareness for managers course informs those who lead teams on mental health conditions. It tackles the most common inaccurate representations and breaks the stigma often associated with such conditions.

Delegates attending this course will gain an understanding of common mental health conditions and why people develop these.  We will discuss how to identify warning signs and give instruction on starting a conversation with someone who may be struggling.

The course includes a mix of presentations, discussions, and group activities.  We will train managers on effective strategies to implement a mental health action plan and build a positive mental health culture in their workplace.
