Wellbeing and Mental Health in the Workplace – for Managers

Course description

An introduction to the topics of mental health, wellbeing and resilience, looking at how stress at work can impact these. 

The session will provide managers with practical tools to build a positive, supportive culture within their team, to help reduce the stigma that is often associated with mental illness. Managers will learn how to recognise when team members or colleagues may require help, as well as how to offer support. 

We also offer a version of this course for those who don’t manage others.
