Awareness of Mental Health at Work

Fostering a culture of understanding and acceptance of people with mental illness is the foundation to building psychologically healthy and safe workplaces.

This workshop is designed to help build comfort in talking about mental health and mental illness, and learn how to respond in a supportive way to co-workers who may be experiencing a mental illness.

This 1 to 2-hour workshop is suitable for employees and general audiences.

This workshop begins by building an understanding of the continuum of mental health, and the risk and protective factors that influence our current state of mental health.

It uses personal stories to help build awareness of what it is like to experience mental illnesses like anxiety disorders or depression at work.

You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and leave with a list of resources available to help support your mental health.

This workshop is available for delivery in the South Okanagan Similkameen by our certified trainer.
