2021 - Breaking the Silence on Mental Illness: Bringing Supportive Conversations to the Workplace

OVERVIEW
Change and uncertainty is impacting our mental health and our ability to cope. Research shows that one in five will experience a mental illness at some point in their lives.
That means that every person is likely to have a family member, friend or co-worker that will struggle with a mental illness.
Failing to address these mental health concerns within your team will result in burnout, increased absenteeism, disengagement, and lost productivity.
Leaders who know how and feel comfortable in holding a supportive mental health conversation will have teams that can thrive during this uncertainty.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Silence and stigma about mental illness is costly and those who need help often suffer in silence. Many employees would feel uncomfortable speaking up if they were experiencing a mental health issue.
Over half of respondents feared that making such a disclosure would jeopardize their chances for promotion and future success in their organizations. This fear and stigma can have disastrous consequences and negatively impact your bottom line. Many leaders feel that they are lacking in meaningful tools to offer any assistance. The key to breaking down barriers and eliminating the stigma around mental health is in our ability to have supportive, honest, caring conversations.
Successful leaders know that healthy employees are a competitive edge and they know that small shifts can have a major impact. By focusing on how to hold supportive mental health conversations, this interactive training will help you protect your team’s mental health now and in the future.
Discover how be supportive when you suspect that someone is struggling and become comfortable with having a conversation in a non-judgmental and supportive way, so that you can promote a productive, engaged, and psychologically healthy workplace.
Learn strategies using the A-L-E-C model for addressing the issue of mental health in a supportive, open and confident way.
