In 2021, in the midst of a global viral pandemic that was fast precipitating a mental health crisis, employers and their Managers found themselves needing to learn to understand mental illness better. For example, what is the difference between depression and just having a bad day? Without such understanding, effective management of the people affected by mental illness and their colleagues, is not possible.

This workshop will provide you with the understanding required at a non-mental-health-professional level, ways of reducing the stigma of mental illness in the workplace, as well as strategies for effective management of employees presenting with these conditions.

If your Leaders are struggling to manage the added pressure of an increase of employees presenting with mental illness in their workplace, this workshop will be invaluable.
