Responding with Respect: Workplace Mental Health Skills for Employees
Evidence-based research indicates early intervention can mitigate the impact of mental illness or mental health challenges. Employees are often the first to notice a change in a coworker’s behaviour, but lack the skills to speak with them about their observations and concerns.
In this workshop, employees will learn how to engage a coworker in a respectful conversation—to make them aware of the changes they have observed using safe and supportive communication skills.
Topics
Employees will learn how to:
- Build their knowledge about mental health
- Navigate the language of stigma
- Understand the mental health continuum
- Be aware of the impacts of mental health issues
- Increase awareness of self-care for mental health
- Use the 4R Action Tookit™ to develop skills to talk with coworkers
Audience
All employees.
