Managing workplace mental health: A practical approach <MH>
Managing workplace mental health: A practical approach
Duration: 8 hours
This advanced workshop expands on the 6-hour workplace mental health workshop, allowing participants to gain a deeper understanding of the intervention framework to guide an appropriate response to concerns about an employee’s mental health.
“Almost half (45%) of Australians will suffer from legitimate mental health issues at some point in their lives”
If we find it easy to talk about work performance, why can’t we talk about mental health and staying well at work comfortably? We’re suggesting an overarching shift in the way we approach mental health in the workplace.
A key issue facing organisations which aim to develop a mentally healthy workplace is the disconnect between a leader’s and an employee’s perception of mental health initiatives – whilst 71% of leaders felt that they were committed to promoting the mental health of staff, only 37% of employees agree.
More concerning is the finding that, whilst 57% of leaders felt that they had engaged with employees to provide input into the planning, implementation and review of mental health programs in the workplace, only 25% of employees agreed!
“Sadly, only 37% of the workforce believe that their leadership values or prioritises mental health.”
Caring for staff, giving adequate support and cultivating premium health outcomes through communicative and positive environments will increase the mental health of the workforce.
Participants will:
- Enhance communication and leadership skills to support effective conversations in the workplace
- Receive in depth coaching using interactive case studies to explore common workplace scenarios
- Increase knowledge and confidence in supporting employees with their mental health and wellbeing
- Receive a comprehensive workbook resource to support and embed their learning
- Know where to find further information and support

We Don’t Compromise On Our Training
Earlier this year I performed CPR on my husband. I could not believe how quickly I remembered the timing and because I felt so confident I did not panic.
