We all have a responsibility to care about the well-being of
others, and just as we would take action to help a colleague experiencing a physical
health episode, we should also respond appropriately to a mental health emergency.
This workshop demystifies common mental health disorders and outlines simple
and specific actions to take should an acute crisis emerge in the workplace.
Safety and privacy considerations are discussed as well as appropriate referral
pathways for support. The impact of mental health disorders on productivity is also
covered. While self-awareness is encouraged, participants are under no pressure
to self-disclose and any personal issues that arise for them from the workshop are
professionally and confidentially debriefed.
