Course overview

Engaging in conversations about mental health with employees can sound quite daunting. And in truth, it can be challenging. But with more and more people being diagnosed with mental health conditions, it’s crucial that you try. Mental health conditions can have a serious impact on someone’s ability to carry out day-to-day tasks, including their job.

Your managers have a duty of care toward your employees. They need to make sure their teams are ok, by creating a supportive and inclusive environment for them to work in. If someone’s struggling with their mental health, they may or may not feel able to talk about it, so your managers should be on the lookout for the signs. By starting these conversations, they have the power to make a positive impact, cultivating a culture of well-being and supporting those they lead. This course will help.
