About The Programme

Most people spend one-third of their adult life at work and there is a high probability that many people are likely to experience a spectrum of mental health issues. Unfortunately research shows that the workplace is where many people feel uncomfortable talking about issues relating to their mental health. This course is aimed at helping managers build psychologically safe working cultures where people can talk honestly and openly about their mental health and wellbeing. It focuses on the prevention of work-related ill-health and the promotion of healthy working practices.

Objectives:

• Understanding the dynamic between work and wellbeing

• Identifying the ways work can be positive for mental health

• Creating ways to establish psychological safety 

• Challenging existing management beliefs and behaviours

• Making a commitment to next steps
