Outcomes
The Mental Health Works Participant Guide, included with the training, will enable managers to develop clear strategies to:
- Improve early detection rates
- Identify challenges to addressing mental illness in your workplace
- Clarify procedures and identify available resources
- Understand what affects employee motivation and performance
- Develop accommodations that work
- Review and reduce mental health risk factors
- Reduce likelihood of human rights violations and discrimination complaints
In addition, managers will develop a new comfort level when discussing the issues of mental illness in the workplace.
Pre-presentation Consultation
Before a workshop, we complete a pre-presentation interview to discuss your organization’s policies and requirements to tailor the workshop to your specific workplace situation and needs. Organizations who require more extensive consultation can purchase this service separately. This could include reviewing current cases, establishing protocol, or customizing the workshops for different departments.
Other Related Services
Follow-up workshops for managers to focus and expand upon issues such as developing accommodations that work, communicating about mental health issues, and reducing risk factors for mental health problems in the workplace.
Workshops for employees that help to create a better work environment by dispelling myths and stereotypes, exploring employee rights in balance with employee responsibilities, and ideas for working with mental illness.
