Breaking the Silence on Mental Illness - Bringing Supportive Conversations to the Workplace
Details
The TrainHR Course is approved by HRCI and SHRM Recertification Provider.
Overview:
Felt at a loss for words, awkward or afraid to speak to someone about a mental health issue? Wondered how stress or the blues was different from a mental illness diagnosis? Felt that there was more that you could do to support those in your company or family who were experiencing a mental health issue?
Why should you Attend:Silence about mental illness is costly and many who need help often suffer in silence. Would employees in your workplace feel uncomfortable speaking to their manager, union representative or a colleague if they
experienced 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. The key to breaking down barriers and eliminating the stigma is in our
ability to have supportive, honest, caring conversations.
"Fear breeds isolation. Caring leads to connection" 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.
Most people feel that they are lacking in meaningful tools to offer any assistance. This presentation will promote awareness of the symptoms, frequency, and treatment options for major mental illnesses. And it will dive into the most beneficial ways people
can connect and be supportive when they suspect that someone is struggling.
It will leverage the relationship skills that we already use. This workshop will help managers and employees become comfortable with having a conversation in a non-judgmental and supportive way.
