No one likes talking about mental health. It’s stigmatized, it’s scary, and it’s anything but comfortable! It’s also very much misunderstood. And, whether you like it or not, its impact on our work and life is here to stay. It’s time to talk about it, and to talk about it more effectively. It’s also time to recognize the signs, learn the proper tools, and create safe spaces to make it okay to not be okay.
As we navigate life post Covid, addressing mental health in the workplace is more important that ever. Studies show 80% of workers experience some type of mental health challenge - from stress to anxiety to a more serious diagnosis. And the cost to employers is an estimated thirty billion dollars annually.
Brave conversations surrounding mental health are no longer a nice to have, they are a need to have. The more we talk about it, the more we can create safe, supportive workplaces for everyone to thrive. I honestly believe the bravest thing you can do is to be brave enough to be you, especially in a world that often wants you to be anything but. When you learn to stop perfecting, pleasing, proving, performing… you step into the bravest version of yourself.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn about ‘brave conversations’ - how to engage in them more effectively, the five-step process, and compassionate inquiry.
- Explore how certain mental health diagnosis’ present themselves, and the behaviours to look out for amongst colleagues, as well as yourself.
- As an HR professional, gain tangible strategies to create work spaces where it really is ‘okay to not be okay,’ and walk away with actionable strategies to implement come Monday morning.
