This webinar is designed to strengthen HR professionals’ ability to recognize the signs and symptoms of common mental health challenges among employees, including depression, anxiety, and substance use concerns. Increased understanding helps reduce stigma and fosters more supportive workplace cultures.

Participants will also learn effective strategies for communicating about available Employee Assistance Program (EAP) resources, as well as how to guide employees toward appropriate community mental health supports. While this session serves as an introduction to these important conversations, it will also highlight additional training and certification opportunities, including Mental Health First Aid and ASIST.
