Managing Mental Health in the Workplace for Leaders
Thursday, March 30th, 2023 at 9:00 am to 1:00 pm
- In-person event
This workshop will be facilitated by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
Supporting employees who are experiencing mental illness or an addiction can be very challenging for leaders; many feel they are not equipped to respond effectively and appropriately. This workshop will help leaders build the knowledge, skills, and confidence to better support employees who are experiencing mental illness and/or addiction. Using experiential learning activities and case studies, learners will have the opportunity to practice how to approach an individual with possible mental health and/or addiction issues, explore how to manage team dynamics while supporting an individual with mental illness or addiction, and discuss how to successfully re-integrate an individual returning to work after a mental health-related leave.
Participants are asked to complete a short-pre read before the workshop (takes approximately 15 minutes). A supplementary participant guidebook will be provided. Links and materials will be provided upon registration.
